Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the butter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, and egg until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring with a spatula until just combined. The dough will be sticky but do not overmix.
Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Optionally, brush them lightly with melted butter for extra flavor.
