Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
- 1/4 cup plant-based butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (fresh)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (fresh)
- 1 tablespoon natural sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup natural buttermilk (plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), optional but recommended
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure your plant-based butter is cold and cubed to create tender, flaky layers during baking.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), baking powder, baking soda, natural sugar, and salt until combined for even rising and consistent flavor.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold plant-based butter cubes to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fingertips to blend quickly until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Add the Buttermilk Mixture: Pour in the natural plant-based buttermilk and the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Gently fold with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Shape and Cut the Biscuits: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat out into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough over itself twice to create layers, then pat out again. Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds, pressing straight down to keep edges sharp.
- Bake Until Golden: Place the biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet with space to expand. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until tops are golden and aroma fills your kitchen.
Notes
- Keep plant-based butter and buttermilk cold for flakier layers and better rise.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rising results.
- Press biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to maintain sharp edges and better rise.
- Bake biscuits on the middle oven rack for even cooking.
