Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon natural baking powder
- 2 tablespoons natural granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold vegan butter (plant-based), cubed
- 3/4 cup plant-based buttermilk (see variations)
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
Fresh Fruit
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, natural granulated sugar, and salt to ensure even distribution for perfect rising biscuits.
- Cut in Vegan Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, quickly cut the cold vegan butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining, to create flaky layers.
- Add Buttermilk and Vanilla: Pour in the plant-based buttermilk and natural vanilla extract, stirring gently with a fork just until the dough begins to come together. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the dough, distributing them evenly without breaking them to ensure juicy bursts in every biscuit.
- Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself two times to build layers, then pat out again to 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut into circles and place them close together on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until puffed and golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- Keep the vegan butter cold to ensure flaky layers and soft texture.
- Do not overwork the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture; if using frozen, toss in a little flour before folding in.
- Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet to help them rise tall with soft sides.
- Bake immediately after shaping for best rise and texture.
