Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 150 grams Unsalted butter, room temperature
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
Gradually add the gluten-free all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until the dough just comes together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour) and gently knead it a few times until smooth.
Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as needed.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one.
Prick the top of each biscuit with a fork to prevent them from rising unevenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown.
Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
