Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour Use a blend that includes xanthan gum.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder Ensure it is fresh for best results.
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar Optional, for a touch of sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup cold butter Or a halal butter alternative, cubed.
- ¾ cup milk A plant-based equivalent can be used.
- 1 large egg Optional, for a richer flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Add cubed cold butter to the flour mixture and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg (if using). Gradually pour this into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out biscuits.
Baking
- Place the biscuits close together on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
- Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
Notes
Keep ingredients cold for flaky layers. Mixing just until combined will help maintain that fluffy texture.
