Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup vegan cheese shreds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and remove any lumps.
- Add the nutritional yeast to the dry ingredients and whisk thoroughly to combine, creating a uniform cheesy flavor base.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in the non-dairy milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- Fold in the vegan cheese shreds, distributing them evenly throughout the dough to ensure cheesy pockets in each biscuit.
- Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional nutritional yeast or vegan cheese shreds on top of each biscuit for extra cheesy flavor and visual appeal.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm as a side dish, breakfast item, or alongside soups and salads. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Keep your ingredients cold: For the fluffiest biscuits, make sure your non-dairy milk is chilled and you're working with room-temperature ingredients.
- Don't overmix the dough: Stir just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense biscuits.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform biscuits: This ensures even cooking and a professional-looking presentation.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different nutritional yeast brands or add herbs like dried thyme or rosemary to the dry ingredients.
- If you want a crispy exterior, brush the tops with a little extra non-dairy milk before baking.
- These biscuits are best served warm, so time your baking to coincide with your meal for maximum enjoyment.
- If you're not serving immediately, reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven to maintain their crispy texture.
