GLUTEN-FREE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
Do you want flaky biscuits with a light-as-air rise made of flour and butter? You don't need gluten for that. The only essentials are cold flour and butter, quick hands, a skillet, some time in the freezer and a hot oven. Plus, lots of practice. Even if they are a little lumpy and misshapen the first time, everyone will love them with gravy or jam.

Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, psyllium, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and put the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes. Put the butter cubes on a saucer and put them into the freezer as well.
- Put the flour mixture into the bowl of a food processor and whirl them up to aerate the flour and combine the ingredients. Add the butter cubes and pulse the food processor until the butter has been broken down into pieces the size of lima beans. Pour in the buttermilk and yogurt and pulse until everything is just combined.
- Put the biscuit dough onto a piece of parchment paper, being careful to remove the food processor blade. Using the heel of your hand, press the biscuit dough together very gently. Form the dough into a disc 1 inch in height.
- Grease a 9-inch skillet. Using a biscuit cutter or a small glass, cut straight down into the dough and cut out as many biscuits as possible. (Do not twist the biscuit cutter, as that will blunt the edges of the biscuit dough and prevent them from rising.) Place the biscuits into the prepared skillet, nestling them right up against each other, which will nudge the biscuits to rise taller. Gather all the scraps of dough into another tall disc and cut as many more biscuits as possible. Put the skillet into the freezer for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Take the skillet from the freezer and put it directly into the oven. Bake until the biscuits are firm and light golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter and let them rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then serve immediately.

GLUTEN FREE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
These biscuits combine an adaptation of Roben Ryberg's biscuit ingredients from The Gluten-Free Kitchen with Cooks Illustrated's method for making biscuits. These are very white...if you liked the white, spongy things that you could buy at Kentucky Fried Chicken, you'll like these. Lately I've been substituting 1-1/4 cups brown rice flour mix for the two starches. It turns out really good with a little less white and a little more nutrition.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F Spray a baking sheet (preferrably a baking stone) with cooking spray.
- Place the starches, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar into the bowl of a food processor. Process with six 1-second pulses.
- Sprinkle the butter cubes evenly over the flour mixture, cover, and process with 12 1-second pulses. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
- Pour the buttermilk evenly over the mixture. Process for 8 1-second pulses, or until the dough gathers into a moist clump.
- Using your bare hands, quickly gather a clump of dough, lightly form it into a biscuit shape, and drop it onto the cookie sheet. Repeat this for all the remaining dough, trying to handle the dough as little as possible (it's sticky). I usually make 6-8 biscuits.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Whisk flour, flaxseed meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add butter and cut in with 2 knives or a pastry blender until slightly crumbly.
- Mix buttermilk and ricotta cheese together in a separate bowl. Mix in egg. Slowly pour into the flour mixture and mix to form a wet dough. Flour your hands and form dough into twelve 1 1/2-inch thick discs. Put each one into a muffin cup.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes. Until they cool, biscuits can be gummy; they get better as they cool.

Tips:
- Use good quality gluten-free flour blend. Not all gluten-free flour blends are created equal. Some are more absorbent than others, so you may need to adjust the amount of liquid you use.
- Make sure your buttermilk is fresh. Old buttermilk will not produce as light and fluffy biscuits.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
- Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. If the dough is too thick, the biscuits will be dense.
- Cut the biscuits out with a sharp biscuit cutter. A dull cutter will tear the dough and make the biscuits uneven.
- Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet. Do not crowd the biscuits on the baking sheet, or they will not cook evenly.
- Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven. A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and evenly.
- Brush the biscuits with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven. This will help them stay moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
These gluten-free buttermilk biscuits are light, fluffy, and flavorful. They are the perfect addition to any meal. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious gluten-free buttermilk biscuits that everyone will enjoy.
