Gluten-Free Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients 📝 Shopping List

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour ➕
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar ➕
• 2 teaspoons baking powder ➕
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda ➕
• 1/2 teaspoon salt ➕
• 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum ➕
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes ➕
• 3/4 cup cold buttermilk ➕

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum.
3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter.
4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cold buttermilk. Stir with a fork until just combined and a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
6. Fold the dough in half, then pat it down again. Repeat this folding process 2 more times to create flaky layers.
7. Pat the dough into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Serve warm.
