Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Spray a baking sheet (preferrably a baking stone) with cooking spray.
• Place the starches, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar into the bowl of a food processor. Process with six 1-second pulses.
• Sprinkle the butter cubes evenly over the flour mixture, cover, and process with 12 1-second pulses. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
• Pour the buttermilk evenly over the mixture. Process for 8 1-second pulses, or until the dough gathers into a moist clump.
• Using your bare hands, quickly gather a clump of dough, lightly form it into a biscuit shape, and drop it onto the cookie sheet. Repeat this for all the remaining dough, trying to handle the dough as little as possible (it's sticky). I usually make 6-8 biscuits.
• Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
• Whisk flour, flaxseed meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add butter and cut in with 2 knives or a pastry blender until slightly crumbly.
• Mix buttermilk and ricotta cheese together in a separate bowl. Mix in egg. Slowly pour into the flour mixture and mix to form a wet dough. Flour your hands and form dough into twelve 1 1/2-inch thick discs. Put each one into a muffin cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes. Until they cool, biscuits can be gummy; they get better as they cool.

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, psyllium, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and put the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes. Put the butter cubes on a saucer and put them into the freezer as well.
• Put the flour mixture into the bowl of a food processor and whirl them up to aerate the flour and combine the ingredients. Add the butter cubes and pulse the food processor until the butter has been broken down into pieces the size of lima beans. Pour in the buttermilk and yogurt and pulse until everything is just combined.
• Put the biscuit dough onto a piece of parchment paper, being careful to remove the food processor blade. Using the heel of your hand, press the biscuit dough together very gently. Form the dough into a disc 1 inch in height.
• Grease a 9-inch skillet. Using a biscuit cutter or a small glass, cut straight down into the dough and cut out as many biscuits as possible. (Do not twist the biscuit cutter, as that will blunt the edges of the biscuit dough and prevent them from rising.) Place the biscuits into the prepared skillet, nestling them right up against each other, which will nudge the biscuits to rise taller. Gather all the scraps of dough into another tall disc and cut as many more biscuits as possible. Put the skillet into the freezer for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Take the skillet from the freezer and put it directly into the oven. Bake until the biscuits are firm and light golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter and let them rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then serve immediately.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to blend. Add the butter and vegetable shortening. Using a pastry cutter, cut the fats into your dry ingredients until the mixture resembles small peas.
• Stir in the buttermilk until the dough forms a ball. If the mixture is too dry, stir in the water 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn your dough out onto a work surface dusted with tapioca flour and knead until very smooth, 3 to 4 turns. Form the dough into a disk 1 inch thick. Using a 3-inch-diameter biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and arrange them in an unbuttered 9-inch cake pan. Bake for 12 to15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer the biscuits to wire racks to cool briefly.
• Serve hot, with butter, agave syrup, or preserves of your choice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line large cookie sheet with parchment.
• Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl.
• Cut in butter using pastry blender or fingers until mixture resembles fine meal.
• Beat buttermilk and egg in a small bowl to blend; add to dry ingredients and mix until just combined - do not overmix.
• Roll dough out on lightly-floured surface to 1 inch thick round.
• Cut out biscuits using floured 2-inch cutter.
• Gather and re-roll scraps; cut out additional rounds.
• Transfer to cookie sheet, spacing 1 inch apart.
• Bake until golden-brown, 25-30 minutes.
• Cool biscuits slightly before serving with lots of butter.
