Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 C all purpose gluten free flour blend I use my all purpose blend
  • 2 TBSP baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 4 TBSP granulated sugar
  • 3/4 C gluten free rolled oats
  • 2/3 C unsalted butter, cold, chopped into small chunks
  • 1 1/3 C whole milk I use Fairelife; may need a splash more too
  • 3 TBSP butter, melted
  • 1/4 C granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Equipment

  • 2 baking sheets
  • parchment paper
  • 1 large bowl
  • measuring cups, spoons, knife, spatula, rolling pin, pizza slicer, etc

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, sea salt, sugar, and oats. Stir well.
  3. Add cold butter pieces and cut into dry ingredients using a pastry blender.
  4. Add milk and stir gently with a fork until all ingredients are mixed. Let stand 2-3 minutes.
  5. On generously floured(same all purpose gluten free flour) parchment paper, place half of the dough. Flour the top and your rolling pin and gently roll dough into about a 9.5x9.5 circle. Carefully place the parchment paper with dough rolled out onto a baking sheet. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
  6. Melt 3 TBSP of butter and spread onto dough using a basting brush. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. GENEROUSLY sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of the melted butter on the dough. (I always have a container of cinnamon/sugar mixed together so that it is easier to sprinkle). I never measure the exact amount of cinnamon/sugar. But trust me you want it to be GENEROUSLY sprinkled. I don't think you'll need all the cinnamon/sugar mixture, this is just how much I mix up at a time.
  7. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 15-17 minutes. I like to switch my baking sheets half way through for even baking in my oven. They are done when the edges are lightly browned.
  8. Cut into wedge-shaped slices and enjoy!
