Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup Buttermilk, chilled
• 1 Egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon Honey

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, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the chilled buttermilk, beaten egg, and honey until well combined.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the buttermilk mixture into the well.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 7

Lightly dust a clean surface with some gluten-free flour and turn the dough out onto it.

Step 8

Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.

Step 9

Fold the dough over itself a couple of times, then pat it back out to 1-inch thickness.

Step 10

Using a biscuit cutter or a round cup, cut biscuits out of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any remaining dough, pat down, and cut additional biscuits.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 13

Serve warm. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free buttermilk biscuits as part of a hearty breakfast or alongside a main dish!
