Description

Perfectly golden and tender, these biscuits rise beautifully with a light, flaky texture. Ideal for any meal, they bring warmth and a classic comforting flavor with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter, cubed or grated
  • 1 cup chilled buttermilk (plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your oven and dry ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, natural gelling agent, and salt to ensure even distribution for consistent rising and flavor.
  2. Cut in the cold plant-based butter: Grate or cube the cold plant-based butter and quickly incorporate it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingertips. Work just until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits of butter visible to create flakiness.
  3. Add the buttermilk (plant-based): Pour the chilled plant-based buttermilk into the mixture. Gently fold with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  4. Shape and cut your biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rough 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold it over once to create layers, then pat it to thickness again. Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake until golden: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops turn a beautiful golden-brown and the biscuits are puffed up. Remove from oven and optionally brush tops with melted plant-based butter for extra shine and flavor.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold to create light layers and prevent greasy dough.
  • Do not overwork the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use a gentle folding technique to incorporate air for tender, flaky results.
  • Cut straight down with the biscuit cutter to avoid sealing edges and ensure better rise.
  • Rest dough briefly before baking to tighten layers and improve rise.
  • Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
  • Freeze biscuits wrapped individually in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
  • Reheat frozen or stored biscuits wrapped in foil in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 to 10 minutes to preserve moisture.
