Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Fresh Fruit
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure biscuits do not stick and bake evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent. This mixture forms the foundation for light and fluffy biscuits.
- Cut in Plant-Based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the cold plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with small chunks of butter throughout to create flaky layers.
- Add Wet Ingredients and Blueberries: Stir in the plant-based milk and vanilla extract until the dough just begins to come together. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them and discoloring the dough.
- Shape the Biscuits: Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out. Pat or gently roll it into a 1-inch thick round. Cut circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for expansion.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until tops are golden brown and biscuits have puffed up. Remove and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Keep plant-based butter very cold and work quickly for flaky layers.
- Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender crumb.
- Handle blueberries gently to prevent breaking and discoloring the dough.
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture and flavor; thawed frozen blueberries can be used but drain well.
- Monitor baking time closely to avoid over-browning.
