Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (natural)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Fat
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted plant-based butter
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (plant-based)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by chilling your plant-based butter and measuring your dry ingredients into a large bowl. Keeping the butter cold is key to creating flaky layers in your biscuits.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients and Cut in Butter: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda (natural), and salt. Then, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold plant-based butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk (plant-based) into the dry mixture and gently fold it in just until the dough comes together. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough, so handle the dough lightly.
- Shape and Cut the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle. Fold it over once or twice to create layers and then gently press it to about 1-inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits, placing them close together on your baking sheet.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake your biscuits in a preheated oven at 220°C (425°F) for about 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown on top. For an extra golden finish, brush with melted plant-based butter (natural) right after they come out of the oven.
Notes
- Keep ingredients cold to ensure flaky layers and tender biscuits.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits light and soft.
- Use a sharp cutter to prevent squishing the dough and allow biscuits to rise evenly.
- Handle the dough gently and fold it to create layers without developing gluten too much.
- Bake immediately after shaping to help the biscuits rise well and maintain their fluffy texture.
