Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (natural gelling agent)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter, cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup milk alternative
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Flavorings
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
- Fresh herbs (optional): parsley or chives, chopped
Optional Variations
- 1/2 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- Alternative herbs: rosemary or thyme
- Drizzle of natural maple syrup
- Whole wheat flour as substitute for all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural gelling agent), and salt until well combined. This ensures consistent rise and texture in every biscuit.
- Incorporate the Plant-Based Butter: Add the cold plant-based butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter scattered throughout.
- Add Garlic and Moisture: Stir in the freshly minced garlic and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Slowly pour in the milk alternative, mixing gently with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together without becoming sticky.
- Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Fold gently several times to bring it into a cohesive ball. Pat or roll the dough to about one-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut circles or squares, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes or until beautifully golden on top. Once baked, brush the tops generously with melted plant-based butter to enhance flavor and sheen.
Notes
- Keep ingredients cold to create flaky layers by releasing steam during baking.
- Mix dough just enough to combine ingredients for the lightest texture; avoid overmixing.
- Use fresh minced garlic for more vibrant flavor.
- Enhance dough with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) for subtle depth.
- Rest dough for 10-15 minutes before shaping for easier handling and better texture.
- Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
- Freeze biscuits wrapped individually in parchment paper or foil for up to two months.
- Reheat gently in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to refresh texture and aroma.
