Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt if butter is unsalted
- 6 tablespoons vegan butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 80 millileters soy milk
Seasonings (Optional)
ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
Method
Step 1
Place the cubed vegan butter in a bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt (if using).
Step 3
Cut in butter: Add chilled butter and cut into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fork until they form pea-sized pieces. You can also do this in a food processor.
Step 4
Make biscuit dough: Add pumpkin puree and soy milk and stir just until the mixture comes together and there is no dry flour left. The dough will be just slightly sticky, but if you find it too wet you can add a bit more flour.
Step 5
Chill dough: Place biscuit dough on plastic wrap and cover tightly. Chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
Step 6
Laminate dough: Lightly flour a work surface and roll/press dough out into a square about ¾ inch thick. Cut into 4 pieces and stack them on top of each other. Press out into a square again and repeat the process 1-2 more times (this helps create flaky layers).
Step 7
Cut out biscuits: Roll/press dough out into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 12 pieces for small biscuits or 8 for regular sized biscuits. Place on a lined baking sheet.
Step 8
Chill biscuits before baking: Place the baking sheet with the biscuits into the fridge to chill while you preheat the oven to 425°F.
Step 9
Bake: Transfer baking sheet to the oven and bake the biscuits for about 20 minutes until deep golden brown on top.
