Gluten Free Drop Biscuits

Tender and flaky gluten-free biscuits that provide a comforting experience with every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all purpose gluten free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (chilled)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (chilled)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour blend, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Grate the cold butter using a standard box grater and chill if it starts to soften.
  4. Add the grated butter to the dry ingredients and toss to coat.
  5. Create a well in the center and add the buttermilk, mixing until the dough comes together.
  6. Using a medium ice cream scoop or two spoons, drop mounds of dough about 1½ inches apart on the baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and firm. Cool briefly before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free buttermilk substitute and margarine or coconut oil instead of butter.
