Biscuits - Jules All Purpose GF Flour test

1 1/2 C All purpose GF flour (rounded)
4 T unsalted butter melted + 1 T to brush on tops
1 t salt
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1/2 C Almond Milk (or whatever milk you wish)
1 T sugar

Preheat oven to 375 deg.  Mix all ingredients.  Dough will have a nice texture and be slightly sticky.  Form into 8 balls.  Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet.  Brush tops with melted butter.  Bake for 14 minutes or until golden.  If dough is too crumbly, add a tablespoon of milk and reblend. (repeat if necessary)  Overmixing will make these tough.

First run of biscuits I only used 2 T unsalted butter.  Biscuit texture was fine.  Fluffy on the inside with a nice crusty outside.  Dough mixed up very smooth and light.  Not too sticky.  Almond milk was a nice substitute for buttermilk.  Flavor was great!  BUT...they baked up white and did not brown.  I adjusted the recipe and have not tested yet.  Have a feeling with the extra butter they will need a little more flour.

Note 4/25 - updated recipe.  Lowered temp and increased baking time, added baking soda.

  1. Whenever I'm using milk I always use the sweetened chocolate almond milk. It adds complete randomness to how the food turns out! :)
