Ingredients You’ll Need

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make the best gluten free biscuits:

• Gluten-free baking flour:I tested this recipe with both King Arthur and Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free flours. I highly recommendBob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 baking flour.
• Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a slight tang and helps bring the dough together.
• Butter: Butter is essential for a tender crumb and rich flavor.
• Salt: Salt enhances the flavor of these gluten-free biscuits.
• Sugar: Sugar is the perfect addition to any biscuit recipe, enhancing the savory flavor with a hint of sweetness.
• Baking powder: This recipe uses plenty of baking powder to get a nice rise and fluffy gluten-free biscuits.

How to Make these Gluten-Free Biscuits

• Preheat the oven to 450F degrees. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• In a medium or large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Pour in the buttermilk and stir until a sticky batter forms. If the batter still seems too dry add a tablespoon or more of buttermilk until the gluten-free biscuits batter is thick and sticky.

• Melt butter in the microwave.
• Spread the biscuit dough into the prepared pan. Using wet hands, spread the dough into an even layer.
• Pour the melted butter over top of the biscuits. Some butter will run over the top of the dough which is totally normal. Cut the dough into 9 even squares.

• Bake gluten-free biscuits in the middle rack of the oven for about 25-30 minutes, rotating the baking pan once during baking, until golden brown.
• Let the hot biscuits cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!

Storage Tips

These gluten-free buttermilk biscuits are best enjoyed shortly after baking! If you do have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.

Expert Tips and Tricks

• For best results use the grams measurement for this recipe. You want to be exact to get the biscuit texture just right!
• This recipe is meant to have a sticky dough, so don’t worry if it’s difficult to get every bit of the dough out of the mixing bowl. It’s better to have the dough too sticky than too dry.
• If you have dense biscuits, you may have added too much flour. Remember to avoid a dry dough when making gluten-free biscuits.
