Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and diced)
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the buttermilk-honey mixture into it. Stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.

Step 7

Using a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are touching slightly for best results.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
