Description

Baking Powder Biscuits are a quick and easy recipe for tender, fluffy, and buttery plant-based biscuits that pair perfectly with sweet or savory dishes. Made with simple pantry staples, these biscuits come together in under 30 minutes to deliver comforting warmth and irresistible flavor for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cold vegan butter (plant-based), cubed
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to ensure uniform rising and balanced flavor.
  3. Cut in Cold Vegan Butter (Plant-Based): Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the cold plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, which helps create tender, flaky layers.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar (natural), then pour into the dry mixture. Stir gently until the dough just comes together; avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light.
  5. Shape and Cut: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a round biscuit cutter or glass to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down to help them rise evenly.
  6. Bake and Enjoy: Place the biscuits on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until puffed and golden brown on top. Serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

  • Keep plant-based butter and liquids cold to create flaky layers.
  • Handle the dough gently and avoid overworking to prevent tough biscuits.
  • Use fresh baking powder for proper rising.
  • Press the cutter down firmly without twisting to keep biscuit edges even and help them rise.
  • Bake on a preheated baking sheet for a crisp bottom crust.
