Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 cup Raisins
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to blend the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, add milk and vanilla extract, and combine thoroughly.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 7

Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the dough, followed by the cinnamon.

Step 8

Gently roll the dough from one long side to the other to form a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place each piece onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
