Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free flour blend Use a blend like Cup4Cup or Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1.
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder For lift and fluffiness.
- 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor.
- 6 tablespoons Cold butter Cubed; can use dairy-free butter substitute.
- 3/4 cup Buttermilk Or dairy-free substitute like almond milk + lemon juice.
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum Only if not included in the flour blend.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups gluten-free flour blend, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (if not already in the flour blend).
- Add 6 tablespoons of cold butter (cubed) to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk (or a dairy-free alternative). Gently stir until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick and fold it over itself 2-3 times for flakier layers.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Avoid twisting the cutter to ensure the biscuits rise evenly. Gather scraps and repeat until all dough is used.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with melted butter if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain, with butter, or topped with jam or gravy.
