Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 large Egg
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 flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum until well combined.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, and egg until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be sure not to overmix, to keep the biscuits fluffy.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it to about 1-inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are close but not touching each other.
Gather the remaining dough, pat it down again, and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings.
