Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons plant-based butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking and help biscuits develop a golden crust.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent. This ensures the leavening is evenly distributed for consistent rising.
  3. Cut in Plant-based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the chilled plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step creates light, flaky layers.
  4. Add Plant-based Milk: Gradually pour the plant-based milk into the flour and butter mixture, gently stirring just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
  5. Shape and Cut: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle, fold it a few times to build layers, then cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass. Press straight down without twisting to keep edges sharp.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Place the biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Keep plant-based butter and milk chilled to ensure flaky layers.
  • Mix the dough just until combined to avoid dense biscuits.
  • Use a sharp biscuit cutter and press straight down without twisting for better rise.
  • Bake biscuits close together to encourage upward rising.
  • Brush biscuit tops with melted plant-based butter before baking for a golden shine.
