Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Coarse sea salt
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together to ensure they are well mixed.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but firm enough to handle.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log about 6 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.

Step 7

Place the dough logs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the coarse sea salt with water to create a light salt solution.

Step 9

Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of each dough log with the salt water solution.

Step 10

Sprinkle additional coarse sea salt over the tops of the sticks for extra crunch and flavor.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the salt sticks are lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 12

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 and enjoy!
