Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 12 ounces Canned tuna, in water, drained
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Celery, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, and egg to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into bun shapes, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
While the buns are baking, prepare the tuna filling. In a medium bowl, mix together the drained tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery, chopped onion, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, black pepper, and chopped parsley until well combined.
Once the buns are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Slice each bun in half, and generously fill with the tuna mixture.
Serve the gluten-free tuna buns warm or at room temperature.
