Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based (plant-based) butter, chilled and cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup plant-based (plant-based) milk at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (optional)

Optional Add-ins and Variations

  • Chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, or parsley for herb infusion
  • Shredded plant-based (plant-based) cheese
  • Pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika for a spicy kick
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup (natural) or natural vanilla extract (natural) for a sweet version

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: Start by whisking the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. This ensures even distribution of the rising agent and seasoning, which is key for consistent fluffiness.
  2. Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Chill the plant-based (plant-based) butter and cut it into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, quickly cut the butter into the dry mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  3. Add the Moist Ingredients: Pour in the plant-based (plant-based) milk (room temperature) and the optional natural sweetener. Gently mix until just combined. It’s important not to overwork the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
  4. Shape and Cut the Biscuits: Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle, then fold it over and pat again. Repeat this process a couple of times to create flaky layers, then cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops are beautifully golden brown.

Notes

  • Keep Ingredients Cold: Cold plant-based (plant-based) butter results in flakier biscuits.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir the dough just enough to bring it together to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use Fresh Baking Powder: This ensures your biscuits rise properly and stay light.
  • Pat, Don’t Roll: Folding the dough builds those perfect layers that make biscuits fluffy.
  • Bake Immediately: Have your oven ready to go so the baking powder activates right away.
