Table of Contents

This recipe uses Gluten Free Bisquick baking mix. I have been madly testing gluten free flour blends on my popular gluten free biscuits recipe. I have tested 8 gluten free flour blends, and today I tested out that recipe using gluten free Bisquick. (Note: I used the GF Bisquick mix in my recipe but did not use the recipe or package instructions on the back of the Bisquick box.)

It is easy to make with one baking mix. You don’t need a bunch of fancy gluten free flours or blends. Enjoy these biscuits, plain with butter and jam, served with a traditional breakfast, or use them to make biscuits and gravy!

If you love cheddar and Old Bay seasoning, give my flaky Gluten Free Cheddar Biscuits recipe a try!

Why This Recipe is Great:

  • These biscuits are easy to make with one baking mix. You don’t need a bunch of fancy gluten free flours or blends.
  • All you need are 4 simple ingredients to make this recipe.
  • This is egg-free, so my readers who must avoid eggs can enjoy them! This is great if you have been looking for gluten-free Bisquick biscuits without eggs!
  • You can make these biscuits shaped with a biscuit cutter or make these gluten free Bisquick biscuits drop style.
  • They are amazing dipped in my homemade Ground Pork Chili recipe!

Ingredient Notes:

  • Gluten Free Bisquick Baking Mix – You can find this at most local grocery stores and online.
  • Baking powder – I know Bisquick contains baking powder, but my recipe calls for extra. Be sure you use aluminum-free baking powder. It makes a huge difference!
  • Butter – Use unsalted, and be sure your butter is cold.
  • Milk – I used regular whole milk. Skim milk also works well. You can use non-dairy milk, but it will change the flavor. If you use non-dairy milk, try to get it unsweetened.

How To Make Gluten Free Bisquick Biscuits:

Bisquick’s easy gluten-free version has made baking this biscuit recipe fun.

Easy Gluten Free Bisquick Biscuits Recipe (2)

Step 1: Add the gf Bisquick, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk to blend them.

Step 2: Add the cold unsalted butter to the gluten free flour mixture. Hold the large bowl as you use a pastry cutter to cut the cold butter into the flour. You want the bits of butter to be the size of small peas.

HINT: Be sure the butter is very cold! Many readers ask me if they can use a food processor to mix the flour and butter together. You can use the food processor, but it is very easy to over-blend the butter in the dough. If the dough is over-mixed, it will not have flaky layers.

Step 3: Mix 1 cup of milk with the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.

Important Tip: Let the soft dough sit for 15 minutes. This is critical because the gluten free Bisquick baking mix is gritty due to the large ratio of rice flour. Letting the batter sit will allow some moisture to absorb into the rice flour and let it soften.

Step 4: Place the dough on wax paper and press to 1 1/2 inches thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut biscuits out of the dough.

Step 5: Place the biscuits onto a baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or use an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk. This will help the biscuits get a golden brown color on top.

Step 6: Bake the biscuits for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size, until the tops are golden.

Step 7: Remove the biscuits from the oven and place them on a cooling rack. We love to enjoy them hot out of the oven with melted butter.

These biscuits are incredible for dipping into this delicious Gluten Free Chicken Stew! If you love biscuits, I have a lot of great gluten free biscuit recipes for you to try!

Storage:

You can store these biscuits in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. If it is summer and hot in your house, I recommend storing them in the refrigerator. To soften the biscuits back up, you can microwave them for 25 seconds.

Another idea is to freeze the biscuits. Place the cooled biscuits in a freezer bag and squeeze the extra air out. They will keep fresh for up to 4 months in the freezer.

Tips and Recipe FAQ:

What makes the tops of the biscuits get golden?

Brushing milk over the tops of the biscuits before baking helps the tops brown to a beautiful golden shade.

Can you make these Bisquick biscuits dairy-free?

You can use dairy-free butter and milk to make this recipe, but your dairy-free milk will slightly alter the biscuits’ flavor.

Why did the Bisquick biscuits turn out dry?

If your Bisquick biscuits turned out dry, it could be you didn’t measure your baking mix accurately, or you didn’t use enough liquid. To measure your gluten free flour, I recommend using the spoon or leveling method.

How long will Bisquick biscuits last in the fridge?

These biscuits will last for up to 4 days in the fridge. See above for storage tips.

What is the difference between Bisquick and Gluten Free Bisquick besides the gluten?

The sugar content is the main difference between regular Bisquick and Gluten Free Bisquick (besides the wheat flour). There is a lot more sugar in their gluten free baking mix. My husband, Mr. Fearless Dining, immediately noticed the sugar when he took a bite.

Notes

  1. For this recipe, I specifically used Gluten Free Bisquick Baking Mix. You can also use another gluten free flour blend. Check out my incredible Gluten Free Biscuits recipe where I tested 8 gluten free flour blends with my recipe.
  2. You can make this recipe dairy-free by using dairy-free butter and non-dairy milk. The non-dairy milk may change the flavor of the biscuits so try to at least use an unsweetened and unflavored substitute.
  3. These biscuits will keep for up to 4 days in an air-tight container or for up to 4 months in the freezer. Store them in the freezer in a freezer bag.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn’t test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.

FAQs

What are the ingredients in Bisquick gluten free mix? ›

Ingredients: Rice Flour, Sugar, Leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), Modified Potato Starch, Salt, Xanthan Gum.

Can gluten free bisquick be substituted for regular Bisquick? ›

In general, Gluten Free Bisquick should not be substituted in recipes calling for Original Bisquick and/or Heart Smart Bisquick. The product formulas are different and each performs differently. Success is ensured by using recipes specifically developed for Bisquick Gluten Free.

What if I don't have enough Bisquick? ›

Yes, you can substitute Bisquick with a combination of flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening or butter. For every cup of Bisquick needed in a recipe, use 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons shortening or cold butter.

How do you keep Bisquick biscuits from falling apart? ›

If your biscuits are falling apart…

To avoid this, set your measuring cup on the counter and use a spoon to remove the flour from the bag and tip it into the cup; then use something with a flat edge, like a knife, to level it off before adding it to your mixing bowl.

Does gluten free Bisquick taste different than regular Bisquick? ›

It is sold as gluten free, but the mix itself is also dairy and egg free, which is rare. The whole "same great taste" is laughable, it has very little flavor, but for my kids that works. If you are wanting all the rich, buttery flavor of normal bisquick, not going to have that here.

What are the key ingredients for gluten free baking? ›

When all-purpose flour won't cut it, stock your pantry with additional gluten free flours, like oat flour, nut flours, bean flours, even powdered dry milk and others. You'll also need binders, like xanthan gum or psyllium husk, to adjust the structure in what you're baking.

Can pancake batter be used in place of Bisquick? ›

While pancake mix and Bisquick share many ingredients, the two are not the same. The main difference is that the pancake mix is sweeter. Most pancake mixes can be used in place of Bisquick and vice versa in sweet recipes. Compare your pancake mix with Bisquick's ingredient list before swapping.

What makes Bisquick not rise? ›

Why are my biscuits heavy and why didn't they rise? o Not enough Bisquick or too much liquid. o Too little or too gentle kneading. o Dough stood too long before baking.

Why is Bisquick different than flour? ›

Bisquick is a premixed baking product. It contains leavening (baking powder) and salt as same self rising flour does but also contains shortening.

What is the best alternative to Bisquick? ›

Pancake Mix – Pancake mix is a lot like Bisquick, but it may yield a slightly sweeter result due to its sugar content. Jiffy Baking Mix – Use Jiffy baking mix in place of Bisquick and get delicious results! Krusteaz Baking Mix – Just like Jiffy, Krusteaz baking mix can be swapped in place of Bisquick with no issues.

What is the difference between old Bisquick and new Bisquick? ›

General Mills changed the Bisquick recipe in the late 1960s to make biscuits fluffier and lighter in texture. The new product, which had buttermilk and more shortening in it, was called New Bisquick. New Bisquick was a hit, and after it replaced the old formulation, it was simply called Bisquick.

Can you use just water to make Bisquick? ›

If you want to simplify it even further, you can make Bisquick pancakes with just water or your favorite milk alternative. They turn out a little flatter when using only water in the mix, but they still come out well and taste good.

Why didn't my gluten free biscuits rise? ›

Moisture content: If you have too much or too little liquid, then your biscuits will either not rise or be very dense. You want a sticky dough that holds its shape when pressed. Sour cream with just a bit of extra milk provides the perfect moisture for gluten free biscuits!
