Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp Butter unsalted
  • 2 1/2 cups Bob's Red Mill 1-1 Flour order here 288 grams
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons of golden flax meal (optional) see notes
  • 2 tablespoon sugar optional
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk see notes for substitutes
  • 3 tablespoon whole milk ricotta cheese see notes

Instructions

  • Cut butter into small pieces. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients, flour, salt, baking powder, golden flax meal, sugar.
  • Add in butter with your hands or pastry cutter. (The Video shows how to do this).
  • Mix Ricotta Cheese with Buttermilk. Add egg to the milk mixture. Stir.
  • Add in to mixture. Use a wooden spoon.
  • Mixture should be wet. Put some more flour on bottom and top of sticky dough.
  • Form into a disc. Cut Biscuits.
  • Put on a baking dish separated.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Let them cool at least 5 minutes or longer. Until they cool, the biscuits are gummy. They get better as they cool, very different from biscuits with gluten.

Notes

Golden Flax: If you don't have golden flax meal, you can leave it out.
However, if you are skipping the ricotta cheese, adding the two tablespoons of golden flax meal will make a difference.
Milk Substitutes: You can use water with a teaspoon of vinegar. Some have also been successful using coconut milk. (Still use vinegar). Vinegar is a tenderizer.
