Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and don’t overmix to keep the rolls tender. Experiment with fillings like chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor.
