Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk (cold)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Gluten-free flour for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and the egg until combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Lightly flour a clean surface with the optional gluten-free flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle or round.
Using a floured biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, reshape, and cut out more biscuits as needed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with butter, honey, or your favorite topping!
