Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup DF butter cut into small cubes
  • 1 1/2 cups GF AP flour
  • 1/2 cup brown rice flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 3/4 cup almond milk unsweet, NOT vanilla
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°.
  • In a liquid measuring cup add almond milk and white vinegar and let sit for 5 min then stir to make dairy free buttermilk.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together GF all purpose flour, brown rice flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and xanthan gum.
  • Using a pastry cutter, cut butter into flour mixture until butter and flour are pea size in shape.
  • Using your hands or a wooden spatula, slowly mix in buttermilk mixture until well combined.
  • Flour your surface and roll out biscuit dough to roughly 1 inch in thickness.
  • Cut out round biscuit shape either using a round cutter or a glass in your kitchen.
  • Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown!

Notes

Make sure your butter is cold! Dairy free butter tends to warm more quickly than regular butter and I suggest put it in the freezer for 10 minutes prior to cutting into the flour mixture.
