• Biscuits:
• 5.2 ounces white rice flour (about 1 cup)
• 2.3 ounces brown rice flour (about 1/2 cup)
• 2.1 ounces tapioca flour (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 cup fat-free half-and-half, plus extra for brushing
• 1 cup dried strawberries, sliced
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• Glaze:
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon fat-free half-and-half
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0.
2. To prepare biscuits, weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 cup half-and-half; toss with a fork until moist. Stir in strawberries and almonds.
3. Drop dough by tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Brush tops of dough with extra half-and-half. Bake at 375u0b0 for 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove biscuits from baking sheet to a wire rack; cool 20 minutes.
4. To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon half-and-half, and almond extract in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Drizzle glaze evenly over cooled biscuits.
