Description

Tender, flaky gluten-free biscuits made without buttermilk using simple pantry staples. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or cozy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup whole milk or non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (must use for dairy-free)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  3. Cut in butter until crumbly.
  4. Add milk and vinegar; stir gently until dough forms.
  5. Pat dough into 1-inch thickness and cut biscuits
  6. Bake for 16 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

Notes

  • Do not overwork the dough.
  • Best served warm.
  • Cold butter is essential for flaky layers.
  • Gluten-free dough should feel slightly tacky but not wet; add milk slowly if needed.
  • A hot oven helps create lift, so don’t reduce the temperature.
