Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten free 1:1 flour I like King Arthur brand
  • 2 eggs + 1 extra for egg wash at the end
  • 3.5 tsp gluten free baking powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup melted ghee or vegan butter can use regular grass-fed butter if not dairy free
  • ¾ cup almond milk or dairy free milk of choice
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray is lightly with cooking oil.
  • Mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar together in a bowl and let it sit for a minute - this is the "buttermilk".
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until a dough forms. If your batter is runny at all, add another 1/4 cup 1:1 gluten free flour.
  • Use your hands to form 8 balls of dough.
  • Press down lightly to form each one into a biscuit shape (about 3 inches wide and 1 inch thick). Make sure they are spaced out evenly on the baking sheet.
  • Add the remaining egg for the egg wash into a dish and whisk well. Use a pastry brush to brush some of the egg onto the top of each biscuit. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes until they have risen and are slightly browned on top. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
