Buttermilk Biscuits

Ingredients

1/2 cup potato starch
3/4 cup corn starch
1 3/4 tsp xanthan gum
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1/3 cup cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions

1 – Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 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 course 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 a possible (it’s sticky). The recipe author usually makes 6-8 biscuits.

6 – Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
