Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (only if not included in the flour blend)
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Additional gluten-free flour (for rolling dough)

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, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces of butter.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface with some gluten-free flour and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough 2–3 times to bring it together, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

Pat the dough into a circle or rectangle about 1 inch thick. Using a round biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps and repeat until all the dough is used.

Step 7

Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little buttermilk for a golden finish.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
