Craving a classic Aussie biscuit without the gluten? You're in luck. This guide to gluten-free biscuit recipes in Australia is perfect for anyone following a coeliac-friendly or low-gluten lifestyle. Whether you're new to baking or an experienced home cook, this gluten-free recipe delivers that perfect buttery crunch with just a few simple ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and line a baking tray with baking paper. This gluten free recipe works best when baked in a pre-heated oven for even texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, almond meal, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Stir well. These dry ingredients form the foundation of your perfect gluten-free biscuit recipe.
Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry mix until it resembles breadcrumbs. It’s a crucial step in any successful gluten-free recipe, helping create that crumbly biscuit texture.
In another bowl, beat the egg, sugar, and vanilla. Add this to your dry mixture and gently combine. Add a tablespoon of milk if the dough is too dry.
Roll dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls, place them on the baking tray and slightly flatten them with a fork or your fingers.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden at the edges. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Enjoy with your favorite tea, coffee, or plant-based milk.
