The Best Gluten Free Biscuits
Gluten Free Biscuits with a High Rise:
Growing up my mum never had a car, so we were heavily dependent on public transportation. Come hail storms or warm summer days we rode the bus just to complete daily tasks and chores. Consequently, public transportation never involved a direct route, rather it took multiple exchanges and at times, hours.
Biscuits with Love and Honey:
Of course I didn’t realize it at the time, but my mum would always plan a special treat once we completed the shopping. This was her way of making the journey a little less daunting . On Target days, we would stop by good ole Kentucky Fried Chicken to enjoy biscuits with rich butter and sticky honey. These gluten free buttermilk biscuits are an homage to those fond memories and priceless conversations we shared. Food is such a blessing because it not only fuels our bodies but it creates community around every table it’s placed on; Even in the middle of a fast food joint. Thanks mum for always being my sustainer in more ways than one.
Cooking Time: 18 mins
Cooking Temp: 400 degrees
Ingredients:
3 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
4 Tablespoons buttermilk powder
2 cups Gluten Free Flour ( I used King Arthur’s Gluten Free Flour Blend)
Tablespoons cold butter cut into cubes
1 egg
¾ cup milk
¼ c water ( more or less depending on the type of flour you use, you need just enough to make a cohesive dough.)
Steps:
1.In a large bowl combine the buttermilk powder, baking powder, baking soda and flour together.
- Rub the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- In a separate bowl whisk the milk and egg together, add to the flour mixture, reserving 1 Tablespoon.
- Stir together until a soft ball in created
- Dust a silicone mat or countertop with flour kneading the dough gently. Roll out until ¾ inch thickness is achieved. Cut nine scones using a wine glass or a biscuit cutter.
- Place scones on a prepared baking sheet ( non stick is best). Brush the tops of each scone with the tablespoon of milk and egg that was reserved in step 3.
- Bake and cool entirely
