1 large mixing bowl
1 2 cup measuring pitcher
measuring cups and spoons
1 box grater or pastry cutter
1 silicone baking spatula
1 3" biscuit cutter or drinking glass
1 9x9 round baking dish or a baking sheet preferably aluminized steel or cast iron for best heat conduction
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cup brown rice flour
- 1½ cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1½ teaspoon xanthan gum
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy free milk I use sweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoon dairy free butter cold
- 3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Combine the dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl add brown rice flour, almond flour, baking soda, and xanthan gum. Whisk to combine.
Grate in butter
Use a box grater to grate in cold butter. OR...Dice the butter into small cubes and cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter. For grated butter: Use a baking spatula to stir in and combine butter until the mixture takes on the appearance of coarse sand. OR...For cubed butter/pastry cutter: continue cutting butter into flour until the mixture takes on the appearance of coarse sand.
Cut out biscuits
Use a 3" biscuit cutter or drinking glass to press straight down (don't twist) and place in buttered baking dish keeping a small amount of space between each biscuit. Repeat until you have gotten as many biscuits as possible. Typically the first cut I get 3 biscuits and every subsequent cut only 1 at a time. This ensures the biscuits are all a similar thickness.
Once you have gotten the first 3 biscuits, gently reform the dough and flatten again. Cut out another biscuit and repeat the process until you have 7 biscuits in the baking dish.
