Description
Tender, buttery, sky-high gluten-free biscuits made with just five simple ingredients no special techniques required.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup cold milk or buttermilk
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Whisk gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- 3. Cut in the cold cubed butter using fingers or a pastry cutter until pea-sized crumbs form.
- 4. Pour in the cold milk and gently mix until a soft dough forms—do not overwork.
- 5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
- 6. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds and place on the baking sheet.
- 7. Reform scraps gently and cut remaining biscuits.
- 8. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until tops are golden and biscuits are fluffy.
- 9. Brush warm biscuits with melted butter if desired.
Notes
- For extra-tall biscuits, freeze shaped dough for 10 minutes before baking.
- If your flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
- Use buttermilk for richer flavor and softer texture.
