Cuisine: American
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ white rice flour
  • c. tapioca starch
  • ¾ t. xanthan gum
  • Or 2 c. all purposeGF/non-GF flour instead of the above 3 ingredients
  • ¼ t. baking soda
  • 1 t. baking powder
  • 1 t. salt
  • 6 T. butter cold + 2-3 T. butter
  • 1 c. buttermilk cold

Instructions

  • 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!
