Nicole Spiridakis
These gluten free whole grain biscuits feature brown rice and quinoa flour for a nutty, whole grain base that's naturally gluten-free. Use non-dairy milk to easily turn them vegan. Wonderful with vegetable soup or in a breakfast sandwich.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 ½ cups brown rice flour
  • 1 cup quinoa flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar , optional
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil , chilled in the fridge
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk , or non-dairy milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 425℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bow, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, and sugar if using.
  • Add chilled olive oil and using a fork or your hands, rub it into the flour until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Pour in the cold non-dairy milk or buttermilk and, using a wooden spoon, stir until a dough forms (add a bit more milk if it’s too dry).
  • Turn dough out on to a clean, lightly floured surface. Roll dough (or press with fingers) until it is in a 1- inch thick rectangle.
  • Use biscuit cutter (or jar or cup) to cut biscuits into desired size and shape OR use a tablespoon to make drop biscuits.
  • Place biscuits on the baking sheet, place in the oven, and bake for about 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let sit on sheet for 5 minutes. Serve slightly warm.

Notes

If you prefer butter, swap in the equivalent amount for the olive oil (or if you prefer vegetable or coconut oil go for that, too, but remember if you use coconut you'll have that flavor here).
Vegans, use cold non-dairy milk for the buttermilk with good results. If you'd like to make 'vegan buttermilk', put one teaspoon apple cider vinegar into your cup of 'milk' and let stand for 5 minutes before using.
