Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted plant-based butter (plant-based), cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheddar (plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to ensure consistent rising throughout the biscuits.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Chill the plant-based butter well, then cut it into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, quickly rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces, creating flaky layers in the biscuits.
  3. Add Cheese and Chives: Sprinkle in the shredded plant-based cheddar (plant-based), then gently fold in the finely chopped fresh chives. The cheddar adds savory richness while the chives bring a fresh herbal note.
  4. Add Milk and Mix Dough: Pour in the milk or plant-based milk and add the natural gelling agent. Stir just until the dough starts to come together, taking care not to overmix, which can make the biscuits tough instead of tender.
  5. Shape and Cut Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough over itself a few times to form layers, then pat it back down. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to press out rounds. Place them close together on a baking sheet for soft sides or spaced apart for crisper edges.
  6. Bake and Enjoy: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown on top. Serve warm for the best experience, enjoying their inviting aroma and perfect fluffiness.

Notes

  • Keep all ingredients cold to ensure flaky, tender biscuits with light layers.
  • Mix the dough only until combined to maintain a soft and airy texture.
  • Chop chives finely to distribute flavor evenly throughout the biscuit dough.
  • Use fresh baking powder to maximize rise and fluffiness.
  • Bake immediately after shaping to retain lift and moisture.
