Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon natural baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, chilled and cubed
- 3/4 cup whole plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Flavorings and Add-ins
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: Start by combining the all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together thoroughly to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt, ensuring every biscuit rises uniformly. This step forms the base of your dough and is key to fluffy biscuits.
- Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Chill the plant-based butter and cut it into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend it into the flour mixture. Aim to leave pea-sized chunks of butter, which create tender, flaky layers in the biscuits.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix the whole plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar (natural) to activate the baking powder. Pour this into the dry mixture and gently fold everything together until just combined. Avoid overworking the dough to keep the biscuits light and tender.
- Incorporate Smoked Turkey Bacon and Flavor: Finely chop the smoked turkey bacon and toss it with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Gently fold this mixture into the dough to add a smoky, savory depth that complements the biscuit base.
- Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut individual rounds and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and delicious.
Notes
- Keep ingredients cold to create flaky layers in the biscuits.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use fresh natural baking powder for best rise.
- Press cutters straight down to prevent sealing edges and allow proper rising.
- Bake the biscuits immediately after shaping for ideal texture.
