Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted plant-based butter, cold
- 3/4 cup milk of choice, chilled
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon (natural) to ensure even distribution of leavening and spices.
- Cut in Plant-Based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, gently cut the cold unsalted plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
- Stir in Wet Ingredients: In a separate container, mix the chilled milk of choice, natural vanilla extract, and natural gelling agent. Pour this mixture slowly over the flour mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing and to retain biscuit flakiness.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the dough, distributing them evenly without crushing.
- Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a round about 1 inch thick. Cut into biscuit shapes using a cookie cutter or glass, then place on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Keep ingredients cold to help create flaky layers.
- Do not overwork the dough to maintain tender biscuits.
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture; thaw and drain if using frozen.
- Preheat oven fully for proper rising and crust development.
- Optionally brush the biscuit tops with plant-based butter after baking for extra flavor and shine.
