Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free flour blend
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk or dairy-free alternative
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the biscuits evenly and achieving a golden crust.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gluten free flour blend, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for flaky biscuits.
- Add Milk and Form Dough: Pour in the milk or dairy-free alternative and gently stir until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Shape Biscuits: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to allow for baking expansion.
- Bake: Place baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use cold butter to achieve the best biscuit texture and flakiness.
- Do not overmix the dough as it can make the biscuits tough instead of fluffy.
- Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
