Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 tablespoons natural granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons cold plant-based butter
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even baking and easy cleanup.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, natural granulated sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent to evenly distribute leavening and flavor throughout the dough.
- Cut in Plant-based Butter: Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the cold plant-based butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized crumbs form, which is essential for fluffy, flaky biscuits.
- Add Plant-based Milk: Pour in the plant-based milk and gently stir just until the dough comes together; avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness.
- Shape and Cut: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or round glass to cut circles and place them on the prepared baking sheet with small gaps for expansion.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits rise well and develop a golden-brown top. Let cool slightly before serving for optimal flavor.
Notes
- Use chilled plant-based butter and milk to create flaky layers.
- Handle dough gently and avoid overworking to maintain softness and rise.
- Use fresh self-rising flour for best rise and flavor.
- Leave slight gaps between biscuits on the baking sheet for expansion.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
