		Directions: Preheat oven to 350F. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl or food processor. Cut in butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal. If using a food processor pulse only until meal is achieved. Add buttermilk or milk alternative and egg or egg alternative* and mix just until combined. Turn dough onto a board lightly floured with Bella Gluten-Free All Purpose Baking Mix . Gently pat until dough is ¾” thick. Cut into rounds. Bake for 15-18 minutes until light golden brown. Makes 6 large biscuits. Egg Alternative: Flax Seed Meal: 1 egg=1 TBL ground flaxseed meal plus 3 TBL of water, Ener-G Egg Replacer: 1egg=1 ½ tsp plus 2 TBL water Chef’s Notes:* My best advice on biscuits is do not over mix. Small pearl size pieces of butter left in the dough will make the biscuits especially flaky.
