-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with PAM cooking spray.
-
Combine white rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl or into the bowl of a food processor (this is my preferred method).
-
Add 6 T. butter and pulse mixture (if in food processor) or cut butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender.
-
If in food processor, slowly add in the buttermilk and pulse until just combined.
-
If not in the food processor, make a well in the center of your ingredients, add the buttermilk into the center, and slowly begin mixing the flour into the buttermilk.
-
Remove dough from food processor or bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Make sure to flour your hands as well. Very softly, fold the dough a few times and then pat the dough until it is about 1-1 ½ inches thick.
-
Using a circular biscuit cutter (preferably a metal one) that has been lightly floured, cut out your biscuits. Be careful not to twist the dough after cutting as this will prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
-
Place biscuits side by side into the pan, and touching, if you would like biscuits with soft sides. If you would prefer biscuits with crispy edges, I would use a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper and separate the biscuits.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops become golden. This may take up to 14 minutes, depending on the size of your biscuit cutter.
-
Immediately upon removal from the oven, brush the warm biscuits with 2-3 T. of melted butter.

Serve with Southern Sausage Gravy or Jam and enjoy!
