Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheddar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the rising agent and seasonings. This helps create light and airy biscuits.
  2. Cut in the Cold Plant-Based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces. This step is key to creating flaky layers.
  3. Add Cheddar and Fresh Chives: Fold in the shredded plant-based cheddar and chopped fresh chives evenly throughout the flour mixture to infuse cheesy and herbal flavors in every bite.
  4. Mix in the Plant-Based Milk: Pour in the plant-based milk slowly and stir just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender and soft.
  5. Shape and Cut the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently pat it out to about 1 inch thickness, then use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds. Gather scraps and gently re-pat to cut additional biscuits.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold to create fluffy, flaky layers.
  • Do not overwork the dough to keep biscuits tender.
  • Use the freshest chives for vibrant flavor and color.
  • Lightly dust pre-shredded plant-based cheddar with flour to prevent clumping.
  • Ensure dough is patted to even thickness for uniform baking.
