How to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. The smell of the biscuits baking will soon fill your kitchen.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. The mixture should be light and fluffy, ready to create something delicious!

3. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This is where your fingers get to do the magic! You’ll feel the dough starting to come together.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, egg, milk, vinegar, and vanilla. Swirl it around! The sweetness from the honey combines beautifully with the rich egg.

5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir gently until a soft, sticky dough forms. Adjust with additional flour or milk if necessary — you want it just right!

6. Now, spoon the dough onto the baking sheet or use a biscuit cutter to shape them. Each drop of dough is a promise of deliciousness!

7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden, and let the beautiful aroma fill your kitchen.

8. Once they’re out of the oven, allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. If you want to take it up a notch, brush with warm honey for an extra glaze of sweetness.

Kitchen Tips

• Time-saving trick: You can prepare the dry ingredients ahead of time! Just store them in an airtight container.
• Common mistake fix: If your dough feels too dry, a splash more almond milk will help. It should be sticky, but not gooey!
• Creative twist: Try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or orange zest to the dough for a flavor boost.

Serving Ideas

These Gluten-Free Honey Biscuits are so versatile! Serve them warm at a family dinner, with a drizzle of honey on top. They make a delightful addition to a Sunday brunch spread, complementing homemade jam or cream. Don’t forget about cozy nights in — enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee while curling up with a good book. For an extra touch, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts on top or pairing them with a fresh fruit salad for a burst of color and flavor.

Storing & Leftovers

• To keep your biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze them for up to a month — perfect for a quick snack later!
• When reheating, pop them into the toaster oven or microwave for a few seconds to regain that soft texture.
• And if you find yourself with leftovers, try turning them into mini sandwiches stuffed with your favorite filling!
