Gluten-Free Buttermilk Biscuits

Hi Friends, I'm so glad you are here to bake with me again! Today we are baking buttermilk biscuits! This is a great and simple recipe to make and enjoy. Now, what can I say about food that always makes me think of my momma? I love biscuits and eating them is a wonderful reminder of growing up and having family dinners. The table filled with me and my sisters…probably some soup and a heaping bowl of hot biscuits. The anticipation I had waiting for the bowl to get to me and for the first bite of biscuit with a pat of cold butter sandwiched inside. Heaven, I say! I hope you love these as much as I do :)              - Carolyn

Gluten-Free Buttermilk Biscuits

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

Dry

1 ¾ cups Cup4Cup Multipurpose Gluten-Free Flour**

1 teaspoon oat flour

1 teaspoon Koda Farms Sweet Rice Flour

1 teaspoon cornmeal or cornflour

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

Wet

¼ cup cold butter cut into chunks

¾ cup buttermilk or sour milk

1-2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce  (I like to use two)

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, the batter will thicken up as you stir. I use a # 24 scoop (about 3 tablespoons of dough) to make 12 biscuits. You can also use a large spoon instead of a scoop. Flatten slightly with a damp hand or spatula before baking. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they have risen and are golden brown on top. Turn the cookie sheet once so both sides cook evenly. Remove from the oven and serve hot. I love lining a pretty bowl with a cotton towel and filling it with hot biscuits to pass around the table. These are best eaten hot the day they are made. Enjoy!
