Gluten Free Flaky Biscuits

Ingredients:

2 Cups of Bob Red Mills 1 To 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour

1 Teaspoon gluten free Xanthan gum (Find this at HEB over near all the other flours or at Whole Foods)

1 Teaspoon salt

2 1 / 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder

6 Tablespoons Butter cubed and cold

3 / 4 cup any milk you want, dairy, almond, coconut, or try butter milk

Directions:

Whisk flour, Xanthan gum, salt baking powder, use pastry cutter to cut in butter into flour until it’s like coarse corn meal. Stir in the milk, use more if needed. Form the dough into a ball and knead about 10 times in bowl.  Roll dough out on flour surface to desired thickness. Use a 2” biscut cutter.  2” to 1  / 2 inch is good thickness. Reroll as needed.  Place on ungreased baking sheet.  I melt some butter and brush on the tops.  I bake mine at 450 for 20 minutes and they come out perfect.  Depending on your oven, 425 to 450. 

Top with butter, honey or jam!  They freeze well too in a large zip lock bag and then you can take out what is needed for your meal. Great for breakfast too. Biscuits and gravy.. you get the picture!  Yum!

Enjoy the holiday goodies; cause January is just around the corner! 

Merry Christmas!
