Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons cold plant-based butter
- 3/4 cup cold plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural) (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined, distributing the leavening agent evenly.
- Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, quickly incorporate cold plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
- Add the Liquid: Pour in the cold plant-based milk and optional maple syrup (natural), stirring gently with a fork just until the dough starts to come together. Avoid over-mixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape and Cut: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, fold it a few times gently, then pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the biscuits rise and turn a lovely golden color on top. Enjoy the aroma as they bake.
Notes
- Use cold plant-based butter and milk to help create flaky layers.
- Handle the dough gently and do not overwork it for soft, tender biscuits.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh to get the best rise and fluffiness.
- Pat the dough to an even thickness for consistent baking throughout.
- Use a sharp round cutter; press straight down without twisting to preserve the biscuits’ lift.
