Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to blend the dry ingredients.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, add milk and vanilla extract, and combine thoroughly.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently mix until a soft dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the dough, followed by the cinnamon.
Gently roll the dough from one long side to the other to form a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place each piece onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
