Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for icing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9-inch round baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper dusted with gluten-free flour. Gently pat and roll the dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 12x8 inches.
- Carefully sprinkle fresh blueberries evenly across the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Using the parchment paper, carefully roll the dough into a log, ensuring blueberries are distributed throughout.
- Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them in the prepared round baking pan, leaving small spaces between rolls.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While rolls are cooling, prepare the icing by whisking powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Once rolls have cooled for 10 minutes, drizzle with lemon icing and serve warm.
Tips
- Use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the best texture and rise
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make gluten-free baked goods tough
- Use fresh, plump blueberries for maximum flavor burst
- Let rolls cool slightly before adding icing to prevent melting
- For extra softness, brush rolls with melted butter right after baking
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently for best results
