    You are going to be forever spoiled by my gluten free biscuit recipe! They are tender, with a flaky crumb. You'll NEVER go back to traditional gluten-free biscuits ( AKA hockey pucks) again!  

    Life Changing Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits recipe { @beardandbonnet www.thismessisours.com }

    Not too long ago I worked with Clabber Girl to create a decadent blueberry lavender shortcake recipe. I knew as soon as I tasted the slightly sweet shortcake biscuits that I was on to something. 

    Not even kidding- these are life-changing gluten-free biscuits!

    Since then I have been making a savory version of those biscuits with buttermilk and black pepper and they are absolutely INSANE! Weekend breakfasts have now reclaimed my family's hearts and we are once again enjoying southern-style biscuits with our eggs and coffee. 

    This recipe even stores well! Yep, you read that right, you can wrap them tightly and store them at room temperature and they are still soft and delicious the next day. Get ready to cut butter into flour, bake up fluffy biscuits, and slather them with whatever jam your little heart desires! These are going to become a staple at your house for sure.

    If you tried my gluten-free biscuits and enjoyed it, I would be so grateful if you would rate the recipe and let me know what you think in the comments below.

     I just love hearing from you and your reviews and comments really help others that visit This Mess is Ours!

    • Cuisine: American
    • Diet: Gluten Free

    Ingredients

    6 tablespoons very cold butter
    ⅓ cup superfine brown rice flour
    ⅓ cup superfine sweet white rice flour
    ½ cup tapioca flour
    ½ cup cornstarch
    1 teaspoon potato starch
    1 teaspoon xanthan gum
    3 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    2-3 teaspoons granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1 cup buttermilk

    Instructions

    Slice the butter into small cubes, place them in a bowl, and place the bowl in the freezer to chill.
    Preheat the oven to 425 °F
    In a large mixing bowl combine the brown rice flour, sweet white rice flour, tapioca flour, cornstarch, potato starch, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and pepper. Whisk together until completely combined.
    Cut the cold butter pieces into the flour mixture using a pastry blender, two knives, your fingertips, or a food processor fitted with the "S" blade, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    Add the buttermilk to the bowl and gently mix until the dough begins to come together.
    Lay a large piece of plastic wrap over your kitchen counter and turn the dough out on top of it. Working quickly, gather the dough into a mass and gently pat into a thickened of ¾ -inch.
    Cut the dough into 2 ½ -inch squares with a knife or not 2 ½ inch rounds with a floured biscuit cutter.
    Arrange the biscuits no more than 1-inch apart on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

      Duuuude! These are fantastic. I baked some this morning and my whole house smelled like butter...this is a GOOD thing 🙂
      They’re super flaky and the outside gets kinda crunchy. We paired with strawberry jam and turkey bacon.

      Thanks, Meg!

      This is definitely the best recipe I've tried for GF biscuits so thank you for that! While they turned out pretty perfect, they did not brown for me. Any ideas?

        I am so glad you like them! I'm not sure why they wouldn't have browned for you, did you leave them in the oven long enough? They should be golden on top when you do.

      We have not been able to find an earth balance dairy free butter we can have....wondering if I could use coconut oil instead?

        HMMM...I have never tested the recipe with coconut oil, so I can't say for sure if it will work or not. If you give it a try please let m know how it turns out!

      So perfect. Thank you for this smashing recipe....used a 1/4 to 3/4cup milk to yogurt substitute for the buttermilk I didn't have....turned out awesome. Four teenage girls downed them all....well, plus one for the cook... 😉

      Cheers!

      Just made a double batch and my they are divine. We used the dairy free butter (Earth Balance) and non-dairy milk and reduced the kosher salt to 1/4 tsp and left out the pepper as we are not fans. We also used the Reynolds Easy Release Muffin liners in muffin tins and then spooned the batter in. Wonderful addition to our gluten recipe box for our family.

      One question. If we wanted to leave out the xanthum gum what should be added in its place. Eggs are not an issue for us.

        So glad to know that you love these biscuits too!!! You could always use guar gum instead of xanthum gum.

        So glad you enjoyed them Darlene! You could always sub in guar gum for the anthem gum. I haven't tried any other substitutions outside of that, but traditionally there are no eggs in biscuits, so I probably would avoid that as an option due to the fact that hey would drastically change the flavor and texture.

      I baked up a batch today and they were very tasty, and a great substitute for regular wheat flour tea biscuits. I had to modify the recipe slightly by adding more brown rice flour as my batter was runny at first, but the extra flour resulted in drier batter so I added some coconut oil and more milk till I got the consistency I felt was right. Despite my tinkering around with the recipe I was very happy with them, and they rose well. Didn't put any extra leavening. I just ate one with a a pat of butter that melted on the biscuit and accompanied it with strawberry jam. It was a heavenly reminder of the high teas I used to attend. Thanks for this inspiring recipe.

      Followed recipe exactly but dough very thin that I could pour it out, tried adding extra tapioca flour but this did not help much. Tried this twice with the same results and could not cut dough into biscuit shapes and ended up with flat pancake looking biscuits . Taste good but certainly not fluffy feature. What am I doing wrong.

        Hmmm...that is so odd Lorraine, I have never had that outcome and must have made these a thousand times. Are you sure the initial measurements are right?

      These biscuits sound yummy. Is it possible to use all GF flour (such as Bob's Red Mill 1+1 or Better Batter)? All of these different flours take up so much space on my shelf 🙁
      Thanks!

        Hey Patricia! You could give it a try, but I find that this unique blend of flours is what gives these biscuits their perfect texture.If you give it a go let me know, I would love to know how it works.

      Can you please advise how to make these biscuits dairy free as well as gluten free?Thanks.

        Hi Leota, you could use a dairy free butter such as Earth Balance and make vegan buttermilk by adding lemon juice into non dairy milk and letting it sit for a few minutes.

      Resulting buscuits were great. I literally ate half the batch in one go. Like some others on here, my dough was really wet, so I added more tapioca flour last minute and spooned it onto the baking pan. I used regular rice flour instead of the sweet kind, so maybe that caused the difference in consistancy? Either way, the texture and taste were a amazing.

        I am so glad you liked the biscuits! Adding a little extra tapioca flour never hurts if the dough is a bit wet. 🙂
