Ingredients
1 cup white rice flour
½ cup tapioca starch
½ cup potato starch
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons butter
½ cup cold water
¼ cup white rice flour for flouring a surface
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Preparation
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Cut the butter into small pieces and, using a stand mixer, incorporate them into the flour mixture.
Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms.
Remove the dough, shape it into a ball, and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least two hours.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dust your kitchen counter with white rice flour.
Roll out your puff pastry into a rectangle measuring approximately 10 by 16 inches in width.
Cut the rectangle into three equal-sized rectangles, similar to the shape of a flag.
Cut each rectangle from one upper corner to the opposite corner at the bottom, resulting in six triangles.
Starting from the broad side of each triangle, roll it up to create croissants.
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond milk and maple syrup. Brush the croissants generously with this mixture.
Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
