Ingredients
Scale
For the Biscuits:
2 ¼ cups Gluten-Free 1.1 flour
8 tbsp cold butter, cut into small pieces
1 tbsp butter, for greasing the pan
1 ¼ tsp kosher salt
½ cup sugar
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp baking soda
1 tbsp baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
For the Glaze:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2–3 tsp milk
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Step 2: Brush a 9-inch cast iron skillet or a 7×10 baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, kosher salt, sugar, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined.
- Step 4: Cut the 8 tablespoons of cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Step 5: Stir in the buttermilk until the dough is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Step 6: Place the dough in the freezer to chill for 20 minutes.
- Step 7: Remove the dough from the freezer. Using a large ice cream scoop, drop 6 large scoops of dough into the prepared baking dish.
- Step 8: Top the biscuit dough evenly with the cherry pie filling.
- Step 9: Bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Step 10: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with 2 teaspoons of milk until smooth. Add an additional teaspoon of milk if needed to reach a drizzling consistency
- Step 11: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before drizzling the glaze on top.
- Step 12: Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
If you do not have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by whisking together 1 cup of oat milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
Chilling the dough is an important step that helps create flakier biscuits.
Be careful not to overmix the dough after adding the buttermilk to ensure the biscuits are tender.
