Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (plant-based), cubed
  • 1 cup plant-based buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents for a uniform rise.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Using a pastry cutter or clean fingers, cut the cold unsalted butter (plant-based) into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits, ensuring flaky layers.
  3. Add Buttermilk Mixture: Combine plant-based buttermilk with apple cider vinegar (natural). Pour into the dry ingredients all at once and gently fold with a spatula until just combined, avoiding over-mixing to keep biscuits tender.
  4. Knead and Shape: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough onto itself 2-3 times to build layers, then press out again before cutting.
  5. Cut and Bake: Use a biscuit cutter or round glass dipped in flour to cut out biscuits. Place them close but not touching on a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold to achieve flaky texture.
  • Do not overwork the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use a sharp cutter and press straight down without twisting.
  • Warm the baking sheet before baking for a golden bottom.
  • Serve biscuits immediately for best freshness; reheat wrapped in foil at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes.
