Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups + 2 tablespoons Bob's Red Mill's 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 tablespoon cold unsalted butter (4 ounces)
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Mix to combine.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cold butter into small pieces. Transfer the butter to the flour mixture.
  • Use your hands or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until it's in pea-sized pieces. It's okay if there's a few bigger pieces too. Place the bowl with the mixture into the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, whisk the buttermilk and egg until combined.
  • Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Use a spoon to stir it into the flour mixture. Use your hands to form the dough into a large disc.
  • Lightly flour a work surface. Place the dough onto it and gently pat it down to a 1 -inch thick rectangle.
  • Use a 2-½ inch biscuit cutter to cut seven biscuits from the dough. Avoid re-rolling the dough. Just press the leftover biscuit dough together and cut more biscuits as necessary. You should get 7 biscuits.
  • Arrange the biscuits on a parchment-lined sheet pan about ½ inch apart. They should be fairly close together.
  • Place the pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Don't skip this step!
  • Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the internal temp is 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
