How to Make the Best Vegan Daisy Biscuits with Jam

  • Preheat oven to 450 F.
  • Set out plant-based butter and cream cheese at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to soften.
  • Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the softened plant-based butter and cream cheese to the large bowl.
  • Use a pastry blender to combine the plant-based butter and cream cheese with the flour mixture. Continue until the pieces of plant-based butter and cream cheese are cut down to the size of small peas.
  • Add the plant-based milk to the mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon.
  • Set out wax paper and sprinkle with all purpose flour (about 2 tsp).
  • Spoon out the dough onto the wax paper and turn the dough over to coat it in the flour. Use your hands to shape it into a ball.
  • Sprinkle flour on a rolling pin. Roll out the dough until about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Use a 2-3 inch circular cookie cutter or biscuit cutter (dipped in flour) to cut the dough into circular shapes.
  • Remove scraps of dough from around the cut biscuits and repeat process to cut more biscuits.
  • To make the daisy design, use kitchen scissors to make 5 small cuts around the edge of each biscuit.
  • Use your thumb to make a thumbprint in the center of each biscuit.
  • Spoon a little jelly into the center of each biscuit.
  • Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
