Description
Soft and fluffy vegan herb biscuits made with plant-based cottage cheese, savory herbs, and vegan butter for a tender, flaky, and flavorful homemade treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup vegan cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes to create vegan buttermilk.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, parsley, and chives.
- Add the cold vegan butter cubes and cut them into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until crumbly.
- Stir in the vegan cottage cheese.
- Pour in the vegan buttermilk mixture and olive oil, then stir gently until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Fold the dough over itself once or twice to create flaky layers.
- Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass and place them on the prepared baking tray with edges slightly touching.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- Use very cold vegan butter for the flakiest texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits soft and fluffy.
- Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, but dried herbs also work.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days refrigerated.
- Freeze baked biscuits for up to 2 months.
