Gluten-free strawberry biscuits are the perfect blend of soft, fluffy texture with a burst of fresh strawberry flavor. These biscuits are an ideal gluten-free alternative for anyone who craves a sweet treat without the wheat.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or dairy-free milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, stirring until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
- Shape the biscuits: Lightly flour a surface and turn out the dough. Gently pat it down to about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds, or simply scoop and drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Cool and serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain or with a drizzle of honey, butter, or whipped cream!
These gluten-free strawberry biscuits are soft, flavorful, and a delightful way to use fresh strawberries!
