These gluten-free biscuits turn out nearly as light and fluffy as regular ones. The trick is finding a high-performing gluten-free flour<\/a>. Serve the biscuits warm alongside a southern-inspired brunch or a simple breakfast of eggs and bacon.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda and salt. Then, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk to moisten the dough.<\/p>\n Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8 to 10 times. Pat or roll the dough to 3\/4 inch thickness.<\/p>\n Cut with a floured 2-1\/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits about 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.<\/p>\n Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown. Serve warm.<\/p>\n First, allow the biscuits to cool. Then, place them in a zip-close bag or an airtight container and keep them in a dark and dry area (like the pantry) for up to two days. For bread recipes, it\u2019s best to keep them out of the fridge because they tend to lose a lot of moisture that way.<\/p>\n To freeze biscuits<\/a>, allow them to cool, then individually wrap them in foil. Put the biscuits in a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze them for up to three months.<\/p>\n If you’re learning how to bake gluten-free<\/a>, it\u2019s important to customize your approach. There’s more than one way to blend gluten-free flours! You want the right mix to create the desired textures for your baked goods.<\/p>\n Apart from using cold butter, make sure you don\u2019t overwork the dough. Overworking creates a tough, chewy biscuit, which is definitely not the goal.<\/p>\n The main challenge: no gluten to add texture. That said, it\u2019s all about experimentation and starting with recipes that don\u2019t need a super elastic dough. For example, almond flour pie crust<\/a> is a great option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This gluten-free biscuit recipe turns out a flaky, tender roll that’s heavenly when
