Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup high quality gluten free flour-We suggest Cup4Cup. See notes
- ½ T gluten free baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup whipping cream ⅔ cup if using King Arthur Flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together gluten free flour, baking powder, and salt. Add cream while stirring with a spoon, just until everything is combined. Dough should be sticky.
- Sprinkle about a tablespoon of gluten free flour onto the counter and turn the dough to coat (be careful not to work the flour into the dough)
- Pat to about ½ inch thick, then fold in half and in half again.
- Using a rolling pin, gently roll to a little over 1 inch thick.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.
- Gently brush the biscuits with a little cream. We use a pastry brush and whatever cream is left in the measuring cup
- Bake for 8-12 minutes (10 minutes is perfect in our oven) until the tops are a golden brown and biscuits are done inside. Don't over bake
- Remove from oven, and enjoy!

Notes
Important Note: this recipe is small and only makes 3-4 biscuits. Feel free to make a double batch if you're feeding more people!
To measure flour (for any recipe), stir the flour and then scoop it into your measuring cup. Finish by leveling it off with a knife. Using this method will ensure that you don't end up adding too much flour.
To make dairy free, substitute ⅔ cup coconut cream for the cream and use a dairy free flour (cup4Cup contains dairy). We have had the best results with Better Batter, which performs just about as well as Cup4Cup.
To make coconut cream, put a can of coconut milk or coconut cream in the fridge overnight. Scoop off the solid cream on top and warm slightly in the microwave or on the stovetop so that it is liquid. FLOUR OPTIONS:
Cup4Cup works best.
Better Batter is a close 2nd.
King Arthur flour blend works, but use ⅔ cup cream instead and add ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum if using their blend that doesn't contain any.
A few readers have had success using Bob's Red Mill 1:1, but it wasn't our favorite to use in this recipe.
We love Grandpa's Kitchen flour for many recipes, but it doesn't work very well for this one.
