Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk, cold
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon natural sweetener (such as maple syrup or agave)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with plant-based butter to ensure even baking and a golden crust.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent until well combined. This creates the dry base for your biscuits and helps them rise perfectly.
  3. Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the cold plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The cold butter creates flaky, tender layers.
  4. Add Moisture and Combine: Gradually pour in the cold plant-based milk, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Be careful not to overmix to maintain lightness.
  5. Shape and Cut: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it to about 1-inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds by pressing straight down without twisting to help the biscuits rise evenly.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the biscuit rounds on the prepared baking sheet close but not touching. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until they are puffed up and golden brown on top. Enjoy the warm, fresh-from-the-oven fragrance filling your kitchen.

Notes

  • Keep all ingredients cold to ensure flaky, tender biscuits.
  • Handle the dough gently and mix only until just combined to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use fresh baking powder for the best rise and texture.
  • Press biscuit cutters straight down without twisting for uniform edges and better rise.
  • Bake on the middle oven rack for even heat distribution and golden results.
