Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Rice crispies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the golden syrup and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the rice crispies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and shape them into small balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each for spreading.
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
