This Fluffy Gluten-Free Biscuits recipe uses just five simple ingredients to create tender, golden biscuits perfect for any meal. Made with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, baking powder, butter, milk, and salt, these biscuits are easy to prepare and ideal for those following a gluten-free diet.
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure an even distribution.
Cut in Butter: Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Alternatively, you can pulse the mixture in a food processor to achieve the same texture.
Add Milk: Pour in the milk and stir or pulse just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
Shape Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick.
Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into biscuits. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Optional Butter Brush: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden crust.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until the biscuits turn golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your fluffy gluten-free biscuits warm.
Notes
Make sure the butter is very cold for the best flaky texture.
Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense biscuits.
Use gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum for proper texture.
You can substitute dairy milk with almond, soy, or oat milk to make it dairy-free.
Brushing with melted butter is optional but adds a nice golden finish and flavor.
