Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegan cheddar cheese
- ½ cup almond milk
- ½ cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Ensure the dry ingredients are well combined and free of lumps.
- Add the vegan cheddar cheese to the dry ingredient mixture and gently fold to distribute evenly throughout the flour.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the almond milk and melted vegan butter.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Drop the biscuit dough by ¼ cup portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the biscuits are still hot, brush the tops with additional melted vegan butter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm and enjoy your vegan cheddar bay biscuits!
Tips
- Keep your ingredients cold: Cold vegan butter and milk help create flakier biscuits.
- Don't overmix the dough: Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep biscuits tender.
- Use a light hand when dropping biscuit dough: This helps maintain a rustic, homemade appearance.
- For extra flavor, try using nutritional yeast alongside vegan cheddar for a more complex cheesy taste.
- Ensure your baking powder is fresh to help the biscuits rise properly.
- Brush with extra melted vegan butter immediately after baking for a glossy, restaurant-style finish.
- Serve warm for the best texture and most incredible flavor experience.
