Ingredients
Scale
Basic Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 6 tablespoons cold plant-based butter
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional Variations
- Fresh rosemary, thyme, or chives (herb-infused)
- 1/2 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural) or vanilla extract (natural)
- Replace 1 cup self-rising flour with whole wheat flour (whole grain twist)
- Ground black pepper or smoked paprika (spicy kick)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Ensure the plant-based butter is cold to create flaky layers.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and salt for even distribution.
- Cut in the Butter: Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or fingertips, cut cold plant-based butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs to form tender flaky pockets.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar (natural). Let it sit a few minutes to thicken slightly, mimicking buttermilk.
- Bring the Dough Together: Gradually pour the milk mixture into the flour and butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits light.
- Shape and Cut: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat to approximately 1-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to shape biscuits and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving for perfect texture.
Notes
- Keep butter and plant-based milk cold for best flaky results.
- Handle dough gently to avoid dense biscuits.
- Do not overmix to prevent tough texture.
- Use fresh baking powder in self-rising flour to ensure proper rise.
- Bake immediately after preparing dough for fluffiest biscuits.
