Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (only if not included in the flour blend)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Additional gluten-free flour (for rolling dough)
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, xanthan gum (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces of butter.
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Lightly flour a clean surface with some gluten-free flour and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough 2–3 times to bring it together, being careful not to overwork the dough.
Pat the dough into a circle or rectangle about 1 inch thick. Using a round biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.
Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little buttermilk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
