Here’s a recipe for gluten-free biscuits. It’s adapted from Bette Hagman’s, The Gluten-free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods. She suggests to serve these for biscuits and gravy, for shortcake, or for eating with butter.

Adapted from Bette Hagman’s, ‘Featherlight Biscuit‘ recipe:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the shortening/butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk/milk and work gently until the dough forms a ball. Turn dough out onto a surface dusted with rice flour and pat/roll to 3/4″ thickness. Cut dough into 2 1/2″ squares or form round biscuits using a 2 1/2″ round cutter or small drinking glass. Bake for 10-12 mins. Serve with butter. Makes 8 biscuits.

*Featherlight Rice Flour Mix:

Rice flour (1 part/3 cups)
Tapioca flour (1 part/3 cups)
Cornstarch (1 part/3 cups)
Potato flour-not potato starch (1 part/3 tbsps)

Southern folks here love their biscuits. I love them too, more than I should, especially with naughty fried chicken, collared greens and mac n’ cheese. Everyone should try Soul food if they get a chance to.
