Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (natural)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural), sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent to create the base for your biscuit dough, ensuring even rising and a soft texture.
- Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Add cold, cubed plant-based butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces of butter throughout, which is essential for a flaky texture.
- Incorporate Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the flour and butter mixture, taking care not to crush the berries to avoid coloring the dough excessively.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Combine plant-based milk with vanilla extract (natural) and pour into the dry mixture. Stir just until the dough comes together, avoiding overmixing to keep the biscuits tender and soft.
- Shape and Cut Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over once and pat again to create layers, then cut into rounds or squares using a biscuit cutter or knife.
- Bake Until Golden: Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 to 18 minutes until the tops are golden and biscuits are cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Keep plant-based butter cold until needed for maximum flakiness.
- Mix the dough just until combined to avoid dense biscuits.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and sweetness without extra moisture.
- Fold the dough several times to create flaky layers.
- Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet for soft sides, or spaced apart for crisp edges.
