Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups gluten-free baking blend (all-purpose flour substitute)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet and Flavor Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk, chilled
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup smoked turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Sift the gluten-free baking blend, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent into a large bowl. This aerates the ingredients and ensures even mixing later, which is key for tender biscuits.
- Add the Plant-Based Butter: Work in the cold, cubed plant-based butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces. This helps create the desired flakiness and rise in your biscuits.
- Mix in Cheese, Chives, and Smoked Turkey Bacon: Gently fold in the grated plant-based Parmesan cheese, finely chopped chives, and cooked smoked turkey bacon. These add layers of fresh, smoky, and cheesy flavors throughout each biscuit bite.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Pour the unsweetened plant-based milk and a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) into the dry mixture. Using a fork, gently combine until the dough just comes together; avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
- Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into rounds or squares using a biscuit cutter or knife. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden and puffed.
Notes
- Keep your plant-based butter and milk chilled for maximum flakiness.
- Mix the dough just until combined to avoid tough biscuits.
- Pat dough to an even thickness for consistent baking results.
- Use fresh chives for better flavor and texture.
- Preheat your oven to ensure biscuits rise properly.
