Description

Fluffy, golden Baking Powder Biscuits made with simple pantry staples and plant-based ingredients. These tender and flavorful biscuits come together quickly, perfect for any meal of the day, and customizable with herbs, spices, or cheese (plant-based). Ideal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they provide a comforting homemade touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons cold vegan butter (plant-based), cut into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup whole plant-based milk (unsweetened almond or oat milk recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon natural sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural gelling agent), and salt until evenly combined. This ensures that the leavening distributes evenly throughout the dough and helps achieve consistent fluffiness.
  2. Cut in the Vegan Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the cold vegan butter (plant-based) into the flour mixture until you see pea-sized crumbs scattered through the bowl. These fat bits are essential for creating flaky layers within each biscuit.
  3. Add the Plant-Based Milk: Pour in the whole plant-based milk gradually, mixing gently with a fork or spatula just until the dough starts to come together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender and light.
  4. Shape and Cut the Dough: Turn your dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting to help them rise evenly.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Arrange the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little room between each. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold: Using chilled vegan butter and plant-based milk helps produce flaky layers.
  • Don’t overwork: Handle the dough gently to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use fresh baking powder: Ensure it’s active for the best rise.
  • Pat, don’t roll: Pressing the dough keeps the layers intact.
  • Bake immediately: Avoid resting the dough to capture the maximum lift from the natural gelling agent.
