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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
