Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural salt

Optional Variations

  • Fresh chopped rosemary, thyme, or chives (herb-infused)
  • 1/2 cup shredded plant-based cheese
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon natural maple syrup (sweet version)
  • Whole wheat self-rising flour as a substitute for all-purpose self-rising flour
  • Plant-based cream cheese and grape juice mixture for glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Ensure your plant-based butter is cold for optimal flakiness. Sift the self-rising flour into a large mixing bowl to avoid lumps.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, gently work the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This creates tender layers in your biscuits.
  3. Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar and natural salt. Let the mixture sit for one minute to activate the rise.
  4. Form the Dough: Pour the liquid mixture into the flour and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits light and fluffy.
  5. Shape and Cut: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it to about one inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds, and re-roll scraps as needed.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place biscuits close together on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden on top.

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold to help butter create steam pockets for fluffy, layered biscuits.
  • Measure flour by spooning and leveling to avoid dense biscuits.
  • Handle dough gently to avoid developing gluten and tough biscuits.
  • Bake immediately after cutting to maximize rise.
  • Brush tops with melted plant-based butter after baking for an extra golden crust.
