240 g gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum

16 g baking powder

2.5 g salt

115 g cold butter, cubed or grated

# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 232°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 -
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender, fingers, or pulse in a food processor until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
04 -
Pour in the milk or dairy-free alternative and gently stir or pulse until the dough just comes together; avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
05 -
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle approximately 2 cm thick.
06 -
Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or sharp knife and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
07 -
Optionally, brush the tops of each biscuit with melted butter for a richer finish.
08 -
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
09 -
Allow biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use very cold butter and milk for optimal flakiness and rise.
02 -
Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
03 -
Dairy-free milk alternatives can be substituted without affecting texture.
