Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup extra 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, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Lightly dust a clean surface with some extra gluten-free flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently a few times to bring it together, then pat it into a ¾-inch thick round.
Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little extra buttermilk for a golden brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
