Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk, chilled
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and gather all ingredients. Cut the plant-based butter into small cubes and keep it chilled for maximum flakiness. Measure the flour and salt precisely to maintain the perfect biscuit rise.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour, natural gelling agent, and salt. Whisk gently to ensure even distribution for consistent texture in your biscuits.
- Cut in Plant-based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold plant-based butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, with small pea-sized pieces for flakiness when baked.
- Add Plant-based Milk: Pour in the plant-based milk and stir gently with a fork or spoon until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense biscuits.
- Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over a couple of times to build layers, then press down to 1 inch thickness again. Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds and place them on a baking tray.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes until they rise beautifully and turn golden brown on top.
Notes
- Keep everything cold: chilled butter and milk help create flaky layers.
- Use a light touch: mix dough just until combined to avoid dense biscuits.
- Layer for softness: folding the dough before cutting builds tender layers.
- Do not twist cutters: press biscuit cutter straight down for even rise and edges.
- Bake immediately: bake biscuits right after shaping for best texture and volume.
