Gluten Free Baking

You may not currently know anyone or have anyone in your family that is gluten free or suffering from celiac disease.  I can pretty much guarantee that if you don’t know someone now, you will.

In trying to replicate family favorite foods for my daughter who is eating gluten free, I have found breads to be the biggest challenge.  While she was home we wanted to have biscuits one night.  For Jim and I, I had some frozen biscuits in the freezer but I wanted Cali to be able to enjoy one too.  So I set out on a quest to make a nice flaky biscuit for her.

It will never be the same as a big, fat, flaky, fluffy buttermilk biscuit made with white flour but we were able to make a biscuit that was flaky and flavorful.

Gluten Free Biscuit Recipe

Gluten Free Biscuit Ingredients

  • Gluten Free Flour. I always use this Gluten Free Flour Mix but you can use your favorite gluten free flour but results may vary.
  • Milk. My daughter is also dairy free so I used almond milk but you can use regular milk or buttermilk.
  • Sugar
  • Baking Powder
  • Salt
  • Butter. Even though she is dairy free, she can have butter.

How to Make Gluten Free Biscuits

Making Gluten Free Biscuits

Because Cali is also dairy free I used almond milk in the recipe but otherwise I would use buttermilk.  Dough made with gluten free flours always has a bit of a different texture and can be a bit stickier.  Just add enough flour that it is manageable and not too sticky to work with.

Gluten Free Biscuit Dough

Roll the dough out to about a 1/2 inch thick.

Then fold the dough in thirds lengthwise.

And then into thirds going crosswise.

Gluten Free Biscuits Recipe

Roll the dough back out to a 1/2 inch thick and repeat the folding procedure two more times, for a total of three.  This will help create the nice flaky layers in the biscuit.

Cut out your biscuits with a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.

Gluten Free Biscuit Cut Out

Put the biscuits in the freezer for about 20 minutes to allow the butter to solidify and help create flaky biscuits. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Brush with melted butter for extra goodness.

They are then ready to be spread with a little butter and jam for some extra goodness.

    Every time I’ve made these biscuits before, which is quite often, it called for rice flour. I’ve never used a flour blend to make them before. Unfortunately we won’t be able to make them again due to a corn allergy in our house. Thank you for getting back to me so fast.

    Did you change the flour in this recipe? This is/was my favorite gluten free biscuit recipe but it looks different.

      No, didn’t change it. It could just be the lighting

    These rise nice and look gorgeous when they come out of the oven but they are way too
    metallic tasting/baking powdery for me. Too much B.Powder maybe? 2.5tsps is a lot. But then less they wouldn’t rise as much. Maybe way less salt, like 1/4tsp and a couple tsps of sugar? I didn’t let them chill first, I just rolled, shaped and baked them. Any advise Leigh Anne?

      Carol, I don’t find them too metallic tasting so have never changed the proportions. Feel free to play around with the recipe! Thanks

    Hi Leigh Anne. How were you able to use 1 cup of butter if your daughter is eating dairy free, too?

      Linda, She is able to eat butter, Butter is mainly fat and only a small percentage of milk protein, only about 1 percent so many people with dairy sensitivities can still eat butter.

    Hi,
    I’m completely new to all this way of cooking and still learning. Can I substitute the almond milk for coconut, rice or oats milk. As there is nut allergies in the family as well as gf, before I try this recipe.
    Thanks Gemma (uk)

      Sure, you can try substituting whatever you like, it may change the flavor somewhat though. I have only made the recipe as written.
