Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups Buttermilk (cold)
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Gluten-free flour for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and the egg until combined.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface with the optional gluten-free flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle or round.

Step 7

Using a floured biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, reshape, and cut out more biscuits as needed.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with butter, honey, or your favorite topping!
