Description

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)

Dairy and Protein

  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup diced smoked turkey bacon or smoked turkey slices

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk

Instructions

  1. Prep and Preheat: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Finely dice the smoked turkey bacon or smoked turkey slices and shred the plant-based cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent if using, to create a well-balanced base for soft and fluffy biscuits.
  3. Cut in the Butter: Using a pastry cutter or fingers, work the cold plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This helps develop light, flaky layers in the biscuits.
  4. Add Cheese and Smoked Turkey: Stir in the shredded plant-based cheddar cheese and diced smoked turkey bacon or slices evenly throughout the flour mixture for consistent flavor in every bite.
  5. Mix the Dough: Pour in the plant-based milk and gently fold the ingredients together just until the dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender and fluffy.
  6. Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut into rounds, pressing straight down for proper rise.
  7. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet spaced apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Keep butter cold to create flaky biscuit layers.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense biscuits.
  • Use fresh baking powder to ensure proper rising.
  • Flour the work surface lightly to prevent dough from sticking.
  • Serve biscuits warm for best melty cheese and smoky turkey aroma.
