They were pretty good in a "these are not wheat...what exactly are these?" kind of way.. Considering it's them or nothing, though, they were great. I ate the first one warm out of the oven with butter. My daughter saw them and had one too. She declared them yummy and ate 2 more. The next one I had turned into shortcake...just added a couple of strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. It was nice to know that the recipe works savory or sweet. I think I will try some peanut butter and jelly on the last one, if Princess Pat hasn't found it already.
Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits (from Food.com)
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 3/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/3 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk
Mix the first 8 ingredients in a bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender (or do it in a food processor). Add the buttermilk. Stir until moistened, but don't play with it. Form into 6-8 biscuits and bake on a greased baking sheet (or silpat) 15 minutes at 375 degrees F.

I saw some rice flour in my freezer the other day, so I do need to make use of it. The first attempt with a given recipe using this was disastrous! However this biscuit recipe does look like it was a success-especially since they are already gobbled up. Delicious photos!
Yea, I've been missing bread too. I haven't made many bread items, this looks really good!
Go you and your gluten free baking! A life without biscuits would just be sad..and these seem like a delicious alternative!
Wow...I don't know that I could go gluten free! I've been a bad blogger about commenting...I promise to do better! :) I linked up some goodies...
I am loving the alternatives to regular flour. These would warm up my winter mornings.
Hi Kristen,
Your Biscuits look great. I am sharing my Strawberry Jalapeno Muffins today. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful day!

Your biscuits look good! I don't think I would have lasted two weeks without some kind of bread, gluten free is such a challenge! I have shared a crock pot chicken dish. Thank you for hosting!
Oh boy do those biscuits look good. Hot, warm...yup, couldn't give these up either!!
Thanks for hosting! Today I posted my cultured citrus recipe.

Oh, your biscuits look amazing!!! I would have never guessed they were gluten free...and so glad they're a decent substitute :)
I love the idea of using those biscuits in strawberry shortcake dessert! And they are gluten-free! Double score with this one, Kristen!
Brown rice biscuits...this is something I have never tried..I like that you also used potato starch. Those biscuits look really delicious!
I have played with several types of flour but not rice, as of yet. These do look really good and I agree, one should not be without biscuits :)
They look good to me! Great job turning a carb loaded treat into gluten free!
Yum! And the addition of strawberries and whipped cream to these lovely biscuits is wonderful. I just came across your site today and am looking forward to seeing more of your posts!
I'm a biscuit type of girl too...surprise, surprise. And I have so many gluten free friends now. I need to make and share these with them. Thank you for sharing, sweet woman! I hope you are having a great start to your week.
They look lovely. Love biscuits with whipped cream and any fruit.
It must be a challenge beginning to bake GF. Good luck with your modifications!
I haven't done much gf baking, but if I was to start, it would definitely be with biscuits :) I'm with you...these are the allstar of a meal!
My daughter-in-law eats gluten free, I'll pass these along to her. Even better, I'm going to keep it for myself. I like having recipes on hand so when she visits there's food for her too!
Thanks for hosting!!

Good for you for working so hard to make a biscuit alternative! I'm glad you're able to find something you can enjoy!
You are doing amazing things with gluten free! That stawberry shortcake looked incredible!!
I have been looking for a biscuit recipe. Sounds delicious! I wonder hoe to say zantham gum in Chinese? Hmmm. I am certainly glad you were able to get a quick photo before the kids demolished off the plate. BAM
These look wonderful - I bet add a little melted cheese and these would go great with soup :D
Cheers

Sigh... your Biscuits look amazing! They must be heavenly when they come out of the oven. I gotta work on baking skills more and will eventually make them!!
