Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold vegan butter (plant-based), cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Measure out all your dry ingredients all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Cut the cold vegan butter (plant-based) into small cubes for even mixing.
- Combine dry ingredients and butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, gently blend the cold vegan butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This is essential for creating flaky, tender biscuits.
- Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the plant-based milk and maple syrup (natural) gradually, stirring just until the dough starts to come together. Avoid over-mixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape and cut the biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it to approximately one-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to stamp out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting to help the biscuits rise.
- Bake until golden: Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden brown.
Notes
- Keep your ingredients cold to create flaky layers.
- Do not overwork the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use fresh baking powder for the best rise.
- Pat the dough instead of rolling to maintain texture.
- Bake on parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
