Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
• 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 8 tablespoons Cold Unsalted Butter (cut into small cubes)
• 1 cup Buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice)
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum (omit if your flour blend already contains it)
• 1/2 teaspoon Optional: Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Optional: Dried herbs
• 2 tablespoons Melted Butter (for brushing tops)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and apple cider vinegar. Let stand for a minute.

5. 5

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

7. 7

   Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
