Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 large Egg

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 flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the butter.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, and egg until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring with a spatula until just combined. The dough will be sticky but do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Optionally, brush them lightly with melted butter for extra flavor.
