Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave nectar natural)

Variations (Optional Add-ins)

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, or chives (herb-infused biscuits)
  • 1/2 cup shredded plant-based cheddar (plant-based)
  • Replace 1 cup self-rising flour with whole wheat self-rising flour (whole grain version)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (spiced sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions (garlic and onion zest)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure self-rising flour into a large mixing bowl and cut cold plant-based butter into small cubes. Keep the butter chilled until use for better flakiness.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add a pinch of salt to the flour. Toss the cold butter cubes into the bowl and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  3. Add Liquid: Slowly pour plant-based milk into the bowl, mixing gently with a fork or spatula just until dough begins to clump together. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender biscuits.
  4. Knead and Shape: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times until cohesive. Pat dough into a rectangle about one inch thick, then use a biscuit cutter or glass to stamp out rounds.
  5. Bake Your Biscuits: Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving small spaces between each. Optionally brush tops with plant-based milk for shine. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold to promote flaky layers by creating steam during baking.
  • Do not overwork the dough to maintain softness and prevent toughness.
  • Bake promptly after shaping to ensure proper rise and texture.
  • Use fresh self-rising flour for the best biscuit rise and texture.
  • Brushing tops with plant-based milk before baking adds golden color and shine.
