Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (with xanthan gum)
- 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) Cold Butter, cubed or grated
- 3/4 cup Milk (or Dairy-Free Alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in Butter: Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Alternatively, pulse the mixture in a food processor for the same texture.
- Add Milk and Combine: Pour in the milk and stir gently or pulse briefly in the food processor, mixing just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits light and fluffy.
- Shape the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle, taking care to handle the dough as little as possible.
- Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or sharp knife to cut biscuits from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart slightly.
- Optional Butter Brush: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy your fluffy gluten-free biscuits!
Notes
- Make sure the butter is cold to achieve the flakiest biscuit texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits fluffy and tender.
- You can substitute milk with any dairy-free alternative for a lactose-free option.
- Brush with melted butter before baking for a richer flavor and shiny crust.
- These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
