Gluten-Free Butter Biscuits

 

4 cups gluten-free flour mix

2 tsp sugar

2 Tbls baking powder

2 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup sour cream

3/4 cup water

1 large egg (or 2 small eggs) 

extra butter, softened

In a large bowl, whisk together the GF flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into the mixture until there are no large chunks of butter.

In a medium bowl, beat together the sour cream, water, and egg. Stir this mixture into the flour mixture.

Sprinkle GF flour onto you work surface, then put out he dough and knead it lightly to bring it together. Roll it into a slab about 1/2" thick. Cut out circles of dough, I used a 3" cookie cutter. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Brush the tops of the biscuits with softened butter.

Place biscuits in freezer and set the oven to heat to 450 F. Once it has heated, bake the biscuits for 18-20 minutes, until the tops and bottoms are lightly golden brown. 

Serve warm or let cool on a rack.
