Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon natural baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cold plant-based butter
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
Instructions
- Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning throughout the flour. This mixture forms the base for a well-risen biscuit.
- Cut in the Plant-based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. These fragments will create pockets that melt during baking, contributing to flakiness and moisture.
- Add the Plant-based Milk: Pour the plant-based milk into the flour mixture and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the dough should be sticky but not wet.
- Shape and Cut the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and lightly pat or roll it to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds by pressing straight down without twisting, preserving the layers. Gather and reshape scraps to cut additional biscuits.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the biscuits spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Keep the plant-based butter cold to enhance flakiness.
- Handle the dough gently to maintain tenderness and light texture.
- Sift dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure even rising.
- Use fresh natural baking powder for best results.
- Space biscuits apart on the baking sheet to allow them to rise without sticking together.
