Fluffy Gluten-Free Biscuits 5 Ingredient Recipe

Introduction

These fluffy gluten-free biscuits are a simple and delicious treat made with just five ingredients. Perfectly tender and golden, they offer a wonderful option for those avoiding gluten without sacrificing flavor or texture.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (with xanthan gum)
• 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) Cold Butter, cubed or grated
• 3/4 cup Milk (or Dairy-Free Alternative)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Step 3: Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can also pulse the mixture in a food processor to achieve this texture.
4. Step 4: Add the milk and stir (or pulse) just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
5. Step 5: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle.
6. Step 6: Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out biscuits, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Step 7: Optionally, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for a richer crust.
8. Step 8: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
9. Step 9: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving and enjoy their fluffy texture and buttery flavor.

Tips & Variations

• Use a cold butter and handle the dough gently to ensure tender, flaky biscuits.
• For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use your favorite non-dairy milk.
• Add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for a savory twist.
• Sprinkle a little grated cheese on top before baking for extra flavor.

Storage

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag for up to 1 month. To reheat, warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes or until heated through to restore their fresh-baked texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make these biscuits without xanthan gum?

If your gluten-free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum, you can add about 1/2 teaspoon to help bind the biscuits and improve texture. Without it, biscuits might be more crumbly.

Can I use buttermilk instead of regular milk?

Yes, buttermilk adds a nice tang and can make these biscuits even more tender. Simply substitute the milk with an equal amount of buttermilk.
