Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder (natural gelling agent included)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Cold Plant-Based Butter
- 1 cup Shredded Plant-Based Cheddar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives (finely chopped)
- 3/4 cup Plant-Based Milk
- 1 tablespoon Natural Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: Sift all-purpose flour, baking powder with natural gelling agent, and salt into a large bowl to ensure even distribution and prevent lumps, setting the stage for excellent biscuit texture.
- Cut in the Cold Plant-Based Butter: Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the cold plant-based butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, creating layers that make the biscuits flaky and tender.
- Add Shredded Plant-Based Cheddar and Fresh Chives: Gently fold in the shredded plant-based cheddar and finely chopped fresh chives, spreading pockets of cheesy flavor and fresh herb aroma throughout the dough.
- Mix in Plant-Based Milk with Apple Cider Vinegar: Whisk together plant-based milk and natural apple cider vinegar, then pour into the flour mixture. Stir just until combined, avoiding over-mixing to maintain a light and fluffy bite.
- Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangular shape about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds, place them close but not touching on a baking sheet, and bake at 425°F for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Keep Ingredients Cold: Cold butter ensures flakier layers that melt in your mouth.
- Do Not Overmix: Stir just until ingredients come together for a tender texture.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh chives add brightness and aroma that dried herbs cannot match.
- Rest Dough Briefly: Allow the dough to rest 10 minutes before baking to improve tenderness.
- Use Natural Gelling Agent: Make sure your baking powder blend includes a natural gelling agent to achieve the perfect rise.
