Tips to Make Gluten Free Biscuits

Here are some insider secrets to elevate your biscuit game:

1. Use a mix of gluten-free flours for different textures – almond flour adds a nice nutty flavor!
2. Play with the fat! Shortening or coconut oil can make these biscuits just as tasty.
3. Baking soda can be a good substitute in a pinch; just adjust the measurements accordingly.
4. Make sure your butter is cold for that flaky texture – room temperature butter is not your friend here.

Variation

Looking to add a twist?

• Herb-Infused: Toss in some dried herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory kick!
• Cheesy Delight: Mix in some shredded cheddar or your favorite cheese for a savory treat.
• Vegan Option: Swap dairy milk for almond or oat milk, and replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter.

FAQs

Can I use any gluten free flour blend?

Yes! Just ensure your blend has a good mix of starches and flours for the best results.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can mix the dry ingredients in advance, and then just add the wet ingredients when you’re ready to bake!

How do I know when they’re done baking?

They’re ready when they turn golden brown on top and have a lightly crisp edge. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
