How to Make Fluffy Gluten-Free Biscuits: Overview

Making these biscuits is as easy as pie—wait, no, even easier! Start by mixing your dry ingredients, then introduce cold butter. The magic happens when you gently mix in the milk. Pro tip: Don’t skip the patted rectangle step; it helps the biscuits rise beautifully! After cutting them out, just pop them in the oven and watch them rise to perfection!

How to Serve Fluffy Gluten-Free Biscuits

These flaky biscuits make a perfect side to any meal. Imagine them served warm so the butter melts into the layers—pure bliss. Pair them with a bowl of homemade soup, drizzle with honey, or enjoy them with a dreamy spread of jam. The smell that fills your kitchen? Absolutely heavenly. 😍

How to Store Fluffy Gluten-Free Biscuits

These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers (which is a big if), they’ll keep in the fridge for about 2 days. Want to save them for later? Pop them in the freezer, and they’ll be good for up to 3 months! Just reheat them in a warm oven to bring back that glorious fluffiness.

Tips to Make Fluffy Gluten-Free Biscuits

1. Use cold butter for optimum flakiness. Trust me, it makes all the difference!
2. Don’t overmix the dough—just until everything is combined.
3. If you’re in a hurry, a food processor can save time on cutting the butter.
4. Experiment with different gluten-free flour blends to find your favorite.
5. For an added flavor twist, throw in some herbs or cheese—yum!

Variation

Wanna spice things up? Try these:

• Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist.
• Make it vegan by substituting butter with coconut oil and using plant-based milk.
• Toss in a handful of shredded cheese for cheesy goodness!

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?
No, this is specifically a gluten-free recipe, but you can use regular flour if you’re not gluten-sensitive. Just skip the xanthan gum!

How can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough in advance, then refrigerate it. Just shape and bake when you’re ready!

Can I freeze the biscuits?
Definitely! Just make sure to wrap them tightly before placing them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
