Gluten-Free Everything Bagel Biscuit Bites

Adapted for gluten-free from The Joy of Cooking Buttermilk Biscuits

Makes ~twenty 1.5” square biscuits

Dry

1 ¾ cups Cup4Cup Multipurpose Gluten-Free Flour*+1 tablespoon

1 teaspoon sweet rice flour

2 teaspoons gluten-free cornmeal 

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon onion or garlic salt

¼ cup cold butter cut into chunks

Wet

¾ cup buttermilk or sour milk

2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce**

1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Everything Bagel seasoning (use the seasoning blend without salt or the biscuits will be really salty!)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the rack in the middle of the oven.

In a large bowl, whisk dry ingredients together. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles crumbs and only has a few larger pea-sized butter chunks remaining.

In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and applesauce. Add to the flour mixture and mix well. Flour a cutting board and roll the dough ~1/2” thick. Cut into 1.5” biscuits. Brush biscuits with beaten egg. Sprinkle the tops with lots of everything seasoning. Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Serve immediately. These are best eaten hot the day they are made but can be reheated the next day if any are left. My mom’s trick is to split the biscuits, butter them and place butter-side down in a pan over medium heat. When the biscuit is crisp and brown, remove it from the pan and eat. Enjoy!

* Please check the ingredient list of this flour for allergens so you can bake safely!

**applesauce is added for more moist gluten-free biscuits and you will not taste it in the final product

Vegan Version

I have made this vegan using the following substitutions:

-Cup4Cup Ancient Grains Flour instead of the Cup4Cup Multipurpose (This type contains milk powder) Flour

-Miyokos butter sticks or other stick vegan butter

-Oat milk mixed with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice for the buttermilk..

-Use plant milk for the egg wash.
