Southern Biscuits [0001148]

Ingredients:

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (or dairy-free alternative), cubed
3/4 cup cold buttermilk (or dairy-free alternative)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Extra gluten-free flour for dusting

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the cold cubed unsalted butter (or dairy-free alternative) to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, mix the cold buttermilk (or dairy-free alternative) with the apple cider vinegar.

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Dust a clean surface with extra gluten-free flour and turn the biscuit dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough. Gather any scraps, pat them together, and cut additional biscuits until all the dough is used.

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the gluten-free Southern biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

These gluten-free Southern biscuits are wonderfully flaky and perfect for serving with gravy, jam, or as a side for your favorite Southern dishes.

Always double-check the labels of your ingredients to ensure they are truly gluten-free if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Enjoy your biscuits!
