4 Steps for Making Gluten-Free Parmesan Honey Biscuits
Make the dough by first mixing dry ingredients with butter, the add cream and honey. Mix until just combined.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass to cut out biscuits about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
Place the biscuits into the skillet. Add small pieces of butter between the biscuits, and brush the tops with cream for a golden finish and sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper if desired.
Bake, and for an extra touch of sweetness and buttery flavor, mix melted butter with honey and thyme, then brush the tops of the hot biscuits and enjoy warm.
Tips for Perfect Gluten-Free Parmesan Honey Biscuits
Cold Ingredients: Ensure the butter and milk are very cold. This helps create a flaky texture.
Don’t Overwork the Dough: Mix until just combined to keep the biscuits tender.
Cream Brushing: Brushing the tops with cream before baking adds a lovely golden finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cheese? Yes, you can substitute Parmesan with cheddar or any other hard cheese for a different flavor.
Can I use a different flour blend? Make sure to use a gluten-free flour blend that is designed for baking and can be substituted 1:1 for regular flour. The flour should weigh 296 grams.
Can I use milk instead of cream? Yes, you can substitute whole milk. However, the cream makes them rich and more moist.
Can I use dried thyme instead of fresh thyme? Yes, you can use dried thyme if fresh thyme is not available. Use 1 teaspoon of gluten-free dried thyme in place of 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme.
What if I don’t have a cast iron skillet? If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The biscuits will still turn out delicious, though they might not have the same crispy bottom as baked in a cast iron skillet.
Serving and Storage
Serving: These biscuits are best enjoyed warm, and fresh out of the oven. Serve them as a side dish with your favorite meals.
