These biscuits combine an adaptation of Roben Ryberg's biscuit ingredients from The Gluten-Free Kitchen with Cooks Illustrated's method for making biscuits. These are very white...if you liked the white, spongy things that you could buy at Kentucky Fried Chicken, you'll like these. Lately I've been substituting 1-1/4 cups brown rice flour mix for the two starches. It turns out really good with a little less white and a little more nutrition. Ingredients:
1/2 cup potato starch |
3/4 cup cornstarch |
1 3/4 teaspoons xanthan gum |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/3 cup cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F Spray a baking sheet (preferrably a baking stone) with cooking spray.
2. Place the starches, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar into the bowl of a food processor. Process with six 1-second pulses.
3. Sprinkle the butter cubes evenly over the flour mixture, cover, and process with 12 1-second pulses. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
4. Pour the buttermilk evenly over the mixture. Process for 8 1-second pulses, or until the dough gathers into a moist clump.
5. Using your bare hands, quickly gather a clump of dough, lightly form it into a biscuit shape, and drop it onto the cookie sheet. Repeat this for all the remaining dough, trying to handle the dough as little as possible (it's sticky). I usually make 6-8 biscuits.
6. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
