Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Fats and Dairy Alternatives

  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (plant-based), cut into cubes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plant-based)

Protein and Flavor

  • 1 cup diced smoked turkey

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk (plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent. Stir thoroughly until evenly mixed to ensure proper rise and texture in the biscuits.
  2. Cut in the cold butter (plant-based): Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is essential to achieve the desired flakiness in the biscuits.
  3. Add cheese (plant-based) and smoked turkey: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese (plant-based) and diced smoked turkey, distributing them evenly without overworking the dough to preserve pockets of melty cheese and savory turkey.
  4. Mix in wet ingredients: In a separate container, combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar (natural). Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix to maintain tender and flaky biscuits.
  5. Shape and bake the biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into rounds or squares, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to ensure flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use a natural gelling agent to help the cheese melt uniformly.
  • Dice smoked turkey finely for even distribution throughout the dough.
  • Let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle.
