Gluten-Free Buttermilk Biscuits



Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits

made with flour from the Gluten Free Bistro Flour Blend available on our site www.theglutenfreebistro.com


Ingredients 

4 cups Bistro Flour Blend (spooned and leveled), plus more for rolling and cutting

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold, cut into bits, plus 4 tablespoons melted (use Smart Balance for dairy-free)

1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk  (use same amount of coconut milk with 3 tsp of lemon juice and set aside for 10 minutes and then add)

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a food processor, pulse flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt to combine. Add cold butter; pulse until mixture is the texture of coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.

Add buttermilk; pulse just until dough is moistened, 2 to 3 times.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface; knead just to combine. Roll with a floured rolling pin (or pat with hands) to a 1-inch thickness. Cut out rounds with a 3-inch round biscuit cutter.

Transfer to a baking sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart. (Reroll and cut scraps only once.) Brush top and sides of rounds with melted butter. Bake until biscuits are puffed slightly and golden, ~17 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite toppings!
