Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon natural baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet and Flavor Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 cup caramelized onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup smoked turkey bacon, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
- 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Caramelized Onion and Smoked Turkey Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and gently sauté the finely chopped onion with a pinch of salt for about 12 to 15 minutes until golden and caramelized. In a separate pan, cook smoked turkey bacon until crispy, then finely chop. Set both aside to cool.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent to ensure even distribution for a consistent rise and texture.
- Cut in Cold Plant-Based Butter: Add the cold plant-based butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter dispersed, which is key for flakiness.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in the plant-based milk, caramelized onion, smoked turkey bacon, fresh chives, and plant-based Parmesan cheese. Mix just until the dough forms a soft, manageable ball to keep biscuits tender.
- Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into rounds or squares using a biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet either touching for softer edges or spaced apart for crispier sides. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Notes
- Keep butter cold to achieve flaky layers.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use fresh chives for brightness and color.
- Pat dough gently to maintain air pockets for fluffiness.
- Preheat baking sheet for crisper biscuit bottoms.
