Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum if not in flour blend
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons sugar depending upon how sweet you like them
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 cup milk whole milk or buttermilk preferred

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix together gluten-free flour, *xanthan gum, baking powder, sugar and salt.
    *only if not in flour mix
  • Add butter * see note* and milk. Stir just until moistened.
  • Drop dough onto a lightly greased or parchment paper/silicone baking sheet lined large cookie sheet. I used about 1/4 cup of dough per biscuit.
  • Cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.

Notes

Butter

You can use either melted butter or chilled butter that is cut into small chunks and cut into the dough.  I chose the chilled method and broke it into the flour mixture with the back of a fork. Either method is acceptable. See the post for the difference.

Vegan

Use a vegan butter and milk substitute for these biscuits
