Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Start with cold plant-based butter, cubed into small pieces, and measure out your flour and leavening agents. Keep everything chilled to ensure the biscuits rise with that perfect fluffy texture.
  2. Mix your dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, natural gelling agent, and salt. This ensures even distribution for a consistent rise and texture.
  3. Cut in the butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the cold butter into the flour mixture until small pea-sized pieces remain. These pockets of butter will melt during baking to create flaky layers.
  4. Add the buttermilk: Pour the chilled buttermilk into the mixture and gently fold it in with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Avoid overworking the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Shape and cut the biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, gently pat it out into a 1-inch thick rectangle, then fold it over a few times to build layers. Pat it down one final time and use a round cutter to shape your biscuits.
  6. Bake until golden: Transfer the biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Enjoy the heavenly aroma as they bake.

Notes

  • Keep it cold: Use cold plant-based butter and buttermilk to promote flakiness and prevent melting before baking.
  • Don’t overmix: Stir dough just until ingredients come together to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Layer for fluff: Folding the dough a few times before cutting adds beautiful layers.
  • Even thickness: Pat dough to uniform thickness to ensure even baking.
  • Use a sharp cutter: Press straight down without twisting to help biscuits rise evenly without sealing edges.
