Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) – optional for savory version
  • Smoked turkey bacon – optional
  • Plant-based cheese – optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease your baking tray or line it with parchment paper to ensure your biscuits have a golden crust and rise beautifully.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift or whisk together the self-rising flour until light and lump-free to help make tender biscuits.
  3. Cut in the Plant-based Butter: Chop the cold plant-based butter into small cubes and work it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until you get coarse crumbs to create flaky biscuit layers.
  4. Add Milk and Stir: Slowly pour in the milk or plant-based milk, gently folding it into the flour mixture just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Shape the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a thick rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough once, then pat again to form layers for extra fluffiness.
  6. Cut and Place: Using a biscuit cutter or glass, cut circles from the dough and place them on the prepared tray. Brush the tops with melted plant-based butter for a shiny, golden finish.
  7. Bake Until Golden: Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until puffed up and golden on top, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.

Notes

  • Keep all ingredients cold to achieve the best flaky texture.
  • Handle the dough gently and avoid overworking to keep biscuits light and tender.
  • Use fresh self-rising flour for optimal rise and flavor.
  • Folding the dough creates layers that flake apart beautifully when baked.
  • Brushing with plant-based butter before baking enhances browning and adds flavor.
