Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold
- 0.75 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand with pea-sized butter pieces.
In a separate smaller bowl, combine the milk, honey, and the egg. Beat together until the egg is fully integrated.
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture, then pour the wet ingredients into this well. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Turn the dough onto the surface, and knead it gently a few times until it holds together.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out as many biscuits as possible.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Gather the remaining dough, pat it back into a 1-inch thick round, and continue cutting out biscuits until the dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your fresh gluten-free butter biscuits!
