Top Tip for Gluten and Dairy Free Buttermilk Biscuits
There is nothing like the pillowy texture of a flaky, buttery biscuit. The easiest way to achieve that is by adding grated butter to your dough. Stick your butter in the freezer and allow it to chill before grating it. In addition, make sure your Dairy Free buttermilk is cold before adding it to the dough. This will prevent it from softening the butter. Once you cut out your biscuits if you're not baking them right away, keep them refrigerated until ready to bake. You don't want your butter to soften.
