How do I ensure these vegan biscuits are flaky?

To achieve a flaky texture, use very cold vegan butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles a coarse meal, then avoid overworking the dough.

Can I use a different plant milk for these biscuits?

While the recipe specifies almond milk, you can substitute other unsweetened plant milks like soy or oat milk, though the dough's consistency might vary slightly.

What's the best technique for cutting the biscuit rounds?

Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round on a generously floured surface, then use a biscuit cutter to cut out as many rounds as possible, re-rolling the scraps gently as needed.

How can I prevent the biscuits from becoming tough?

It's crucial not to overwork the dough; knead it with floured hands only about 6-7 times until a ball forms, as excessive kneading will prevent them from rising well and make them tough.

How should I store leftover vegan cheddar chive biscuits?

Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze them for longer storage, reheating gently in the oven or microwave before serving.

How to Prepare Cheddar Chive Biscuits [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper; set aside.
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper; whisk well to combine.
Add the vegan butter to the flour and using your fingertips rub the butter into the mix, stopping when the mixture is a coarse meal.
Stir in the chives and vegan cheddar.
Gradually add the almond milk stir with a fork just until a messy (sticky) ball is formed.
Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and knead (with very floured hands) until the dough has been worked into a ball; about 6-7 times should do it.
Don't overwork the dough as they won't rise well.
Pat the ball down into a 1" thick round, then use a biscuit cutter to cut out as many rounds as possible, re-rolling the scraps as needed.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet bottom side up as it should be more flat.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
