Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free flour blend (see notes for details)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder (must be aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups gluten free flour blend, 2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt until evenly blended.
- Cut in cold butter: Use a pastry blender to cut 5 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. If you don’t have a pastry blender, grate the cold butter using a large cheese grater for a similar effect.
- Add milk and mix: Pour in 1 cup milk and stir to form a soft biscuit dough. The dough should be soft yet workable without sticking excessively to your hands. Adjust by adding more flour if too wet or more milk if too dry.
- Prepare dough for cutting: Transfer the dough to a silicone mat and press or gently roll it to about 2 inches thick. Use a biscuit cutter, pressing straight down without twisting to avoid sealing edges, which can prevent proper rising.
- Arrange biscuits for cooking: Place the cut biscuits on the metal tray or on parchment paper inside the air fryer basket or drawer, depending on your air fryer model. This prevents sticking during cooking.
- Cook in air fryer: Air fry the biscuits at 400ºF (204ºC) for approximately 10 minutes. Adjust cooking time if you change the biscuit size—larger biscuits may require more time, smaller ones less.
- Cool and serve: Remove the biscuits from the air fryer and transfer them to a cooling rack. Serve warm as a delightful gluten-free biscuit option, perfect for sandwiches or as a side to meals.
Notes
- Use an aluminum-free baking powder to avoid any metallic aftertaste in your biscuits.
- The texture of gluten free flour blends can vary widely; you may need to adjust the liquid or flour amounts slightly based on the brand you use.
- If you don’t have a pastry blender, grating the cold butter is a helpful alternative to achieve flaky biscuit texture.
- Avoid twisting the biscuit cutter when cutting to ensure the biscuits rise properly.
- These biscuits are excellent for gluten-free biscuit egg sandwiches and other breakfast dishes.
