1

Combine 2 cups gluten free flour blend, 2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to blend

2

Add the cold 5 tablespoons unsalted butter to the mixing bowl and use a pastry blender to chop the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like flour with a lot of butter crumbs

3

Add the 1 cup milk to the bowl and mix to form a soft, firm, workable dough ball, being careful not to overwork it

4

Preheat your oven to 425º F

5

Put the dough on wax paper or a silicone mat, dusting with a little gluten-free flour if needed

6

Press the dough to 1 1/2 inch thickness

7

Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuit shapes from the dough (or use a large ice cream scoop or cookie scoop for drop style biscuits)

8

Place each biscuit on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet

9

Brush the top of each biscuit with milk

10

Bake at 425º F until the biscuits are golden on top and have risen with visible layers

You're all done!

Enjoy your gluten-free biscuits (big, flaky, and easy!) — and don't forget to share.

Swaps, storing and making ahead

Good to know

Swaps

No aluminum-free baking powder on hand? Regular baking powder works, though it may lend a slightly metallic aftertaste.

Storing it

Reheat in the oven until warmed through.
