  • Brush with melted butter after baked for extra goodness if desired.

Notes

  1. Dough made with gluten free flours always has a bit of a different texture and can be a bit stickier.  Just add enough flour that it is manageable and not too sticky to work with.
  2. If you don't have a biscuit cutter you can use the rim of a glass to cut biscuits.
  3. Putting the biscuits in the freezer allows the butter to solidify and help create flaky biscuits. Do not skip this step.
