Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon natural baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon natural baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter, cubed
Instructions
- Prepare Your Buttermilk Substitute: Combine plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar (natural) in a small bowl and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This activates the acidity needed to tenderize the dough and add a traditional tangy flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, natural baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. This ensures an even rise and balanced flavor in the biscuits.
- Cut in Cold Plant-Based Butter: Chop the cold plant-based butter into small cubes and quickly work it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Keeping the butter cold creates flaky layers.
- Add the Buttermilk Substitute: Pour the prepared buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and tender texture.
- Shape and Cut the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle, then cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or glass. Re-roll the scraps as needed.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. They should feel soft with a slightly crisp exterior.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients to maximize flakiness.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense, chewy biscuits.
- Cut straight down with the biscuit cutter without twisting to help them rise evenly.
- Folding and gently pressing the dough creates extra flaky layers.
- Preheat the oven fully before baking for the best rise.
