Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plant-based)

Add-ins and Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • Smoked turkey bacon (for serving, optional)
  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, and salt in a large bowl to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning, forming the base for the biscuits.
  2. Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold plant-based butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits, creating tender layers as the biscuits bake.
  3. Add Cranberries and Buttermilk: Gently fold in the dried cranberries, then gradually pour in the cold plant-based buttermilk, stirring just until combined to form a moist, slightly sticky dough.
  4. Shape and Cut the Biscuits: Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat to about one-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut rounds, avoiding twisting to maintain sharp edges for better rise.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking tray with some space between each for even cooking. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold to create tender, flaky layers.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use fresh baking powder for proper rise.
  • Gently pat dough instead of rolling to maintain fluffiness.
  • Let dough rest briefly before baking for improved texture.
