Ingredients

2 ¼ cups gluten-free all purpose baking flour
2 tablespoons golden flaxseed meal
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces
1 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
1 large egg

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Whisk flour, flaxseed meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add butter and cut in with 2 knives or a pastry blender until slightly crumbly.
Mix buttermilk and ricotta cheese together in a separate bowl. Mix in egg. Slowly pour into the flour mixture and mix to form a wet dough. Flour your hands and form dough into twelve 1 1/2-inch thick discs. Put each one into a muffin cup.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes. Until they cool, biscuits can be gummy; they get better as they cool.
