Makes: 10
Ingredients
  • 3 cups Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons hot Mexican chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
  • 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 1¼ cups buttermilk
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Or if you're out of parchment-like me-just use an ungreased baking sheet)
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, chili powder and cilantro in large bowl.
  3. Cut the butter into small cubes and then use a pastry blender (or two knives) to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Keep working in the butter until you get course, pea-size crumbles. (If using your hands, work quickly so the heat from your hands doesn't warm the butter too much.)
  4. Add the buttermilk and stir with a wooden spoon until big craggy clumps of dough begin to form.You may need to use your hands to knead the dough a few times until it all holds together.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat (don't roll!) it out until it's about a half-inch thick. Cut your biscuits using a 2" or 3" biscuit cutter, and place them on the baking sheet, about an inch or so apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and fluffy.
Notes
Gluten free flour is a bit more absorbent than all-purpose flour, so the extra ¼ cup of buttermilk is helpful. Start with 1 cup and add 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed, until the dough just holds together but isn't soggy.
You can add more sugar if you like sweeter biscuits, or change up the flavors according to your family's liking.
