Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 8 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until they are evenly mixed.
- Add the melted vegan butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded vegan cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley, ensuring that the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Gradually pour in the almond milk, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but hold together.
- Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. You can shape them into rounds if desired, but they can also be rustic in appearance.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the biscuits warm, and enjoy them on their own or with your favorite vegan butter or spread!
Tips
- Keep your ingredients cold: For the fluffiest biscuits, ensure your vegan butter and milk are chilled before mixing.
- Don't overmix the dough: Mix just until ingredients are combined to maintain a tender texture.
- Use high-quality vegan cheddar: The cheese is a key flavor component, so choose a brand with great melting properties.
- For extra golden tops, brush the biscuits with a little extra melted vegan butter before baking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and warmth - these biscuits are most delicious right out of the oven!
- If you like extra garlic flavor, you can sprinkle a bit of garlic powder on top of the biscuits before baking.
