Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon natural sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold vegan butter (plant-based), cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent until evenly combined. This will help your biscuits rise evenly and create a tender crumb.
  2. Cut in the cold vegan butter (plant-based): Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, gently incorporate the cold vegan butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Keeping the butter cold is essential for flaky layers in the biscuits.
  3. Add in the plant-based buttermilk: Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the cold plant-based buttermilk along with the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain fluffiness.
  4. Knead and shape the dough: Lightly flour your work surface and fold the dough over itself a few times to build layers. Pat the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter, press straight down without twisting to keep the edges tender and help the biscuits rise evenly.
  5. Bake to golden perfection: Place the shaped biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

  • Keep all ingredients cold to ensure flaky layers and optimal rise.
  • Do not overwork the dough to maintain tenderness and avoid tough biscuits.
  • Use fresh baking powder to maximize biscuit rise.
  • Press the biscuit cutter straight down without twisting to keep edges tender.
  • Preheat your baking sheet for a golden crust and better texture.
