Our first batch of buttermilk biscuits












O.K. so these were NOT KFC biscuits, but for our first time making gluten free buttermilk biscuits they were pretty good.

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
1Preheat the oven to 375°F Spray a baking sheet (preferably a baking stone) with cooking spray.

2Place the starches, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar into the bowl of a food processor. Process with six 1-second pulses.

3Sprinkle the butter cubes evenly over the flour mixture, cover, and process with 12 1-second pulses. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.

4Pour the buttermilk evenly over the mixture. Process for 8 1-second pulses, or until the dough gathers into a moist clump.

5Using 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.

6Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
