How to Make Gluten Free Biscuits (Overview)
Let’s break it down! Start by preheating your oven while combining your dry ingredients. Cubing cold butter isn’t just for looks – it gives that perfect flaky texture we crave. After you mix in the milk, it’s all about the loving knead (you can do this part!). Roll out, cut those adorable shapes, and bake. Pro tip: Don’t skip lining your baking sheet; it saves you from a crispy (and not in a good way) clean-up.
How to Serve Gluten Free Biscuits
The options for serving are endless! Slather on some creamy butter, drizzle with honey, or even spread on your favorite jam. Just picture that rich, golden color, and the mouthwatering aroma floating through the air as you sink your teeth into that crispy exterior and soft inside. For an extra treat, serve them alongside a steaming bowl of soup or stew – pure comfort!
How to Store Gluten Free Biscuits
These biscuits are best enjoyed warm, but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep them around! They last about 3-4 days in the fridge – just pop them in an airtight container. Feel like saving some for later? Freeze them! They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to indulge again, just reheat in the oven for that fresh-out-of-the-oven feel.
