If you’re like me, soup and bread are some of those things that just go hand in hand. I can honestly admit I cannot remember a time I ate soup without the carb counterpart.

Remember when I shared with you my lemon chickpea orzo soup? It’s a perfect springtime soup and these rosemary biscuits are it’s BFF.

Let me tell you, this step is CRUCIAL and makes these biscuits so buttery and flakey – which is exactly what you want in a biscuit. It evenly disperses the butter and creates the perfect flakes when baking.

Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick onto a floured surface.

Cut out biscuits with a 2.5″ cookie cutter.

Tip: To make uniform biscuits, try using a mason jar lid (regular size NOT the wide mouth) as a cutter! It creates the perfect biscuit size and it’s a great way to multi-purpose your kitchen equipment.

    I followed the recipe exactly and ended up with hockey pucks. Had I not made a different vegan biscuit recipe last week that turned out great, I would have really doubted myself. This recipe differed in that it didn’t use baking soda and lemon juice. However, it is a really hot day today so the butter might have melted in the dough too fast before I got it in the oven, resulting in these disappointing biscuits. I just don’t want to waste the ingredients trying it again. The house smells really nice though!

    • Hi Catherine! Thanks so much for your feedback! Definitely sounds like the butter melted too fast. Cold butter will melt in the oven creating air pockets, resulting in nice flakes! Also if you over handle the dough it will become hard AND melt the butter more. I hope this helps!
