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

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

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.
