Gluten-Free Buttermilk Biscuits

Heat oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, stir together cornstarch, oat flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder and xanthan gum. Once mixed, stir in cheese until well incorporated.

Add butter cubes and use a pastry blender or your hands to cut it into the flour mixture until you have only small pea-sized pieces of butter. Add buttermilk and stir until it starts to come together. Use your hands to knead the dough in the bowl, until it just starts to come together, about 1–2 minutes (I find it easiest to use slightly damp hands). Don’t over-knead. The dough will be soft and sticky.

Drop by heaping 2-tablespoon-sized balls onto the prepared pan and press out about 3/4 inch thick. Bake until the outsides are crusty and some of the cheese starts to brown, about 17–18 minutes. Devour!
