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!

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.

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 ½ 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.

They work best for sweet breads, muffins and scones rather than savory dishes when substituting for Bisquick.

As it turns out, adding hard-boiled egg yolks to your biscuit dough is a way to ward off an overworked, tough dough that can be the downfall of a butter-based pastry. When the trick is employed, the pastry shatters and then dissolves in your mouth quickly, tasting like a knob of flaky butter.

Why does Bisquick taste different? ›

DATEM, Soy flour, nonfat Milk and egg are missing from the ingredient list on the "New" recipe box. Moving the corn starch up has caused the biscuits to be much dryer and dropping the vegetable oil down is why you now have to add your own. As to the missing items, well, that definitely changes the taste.

What can I substitute for milk in Bisquick biscuits? ›

We Recommend. One bonus of making Bisquick recipes with water instead of milk is that it may save you calories. A cup of whole milk contains about 150 calories and 8 grams of fat according to the USDA. Use water instead and you won't add these macronutrients to your Bisquick pancakes or biscuits.

Can I substitute Heart Smart Bisquick for regular Bisquick Bak? ›

The Heart Smart version of Bisquick can be used in some recipes just like regular Bisquick, but the mixes are different so your recipe may not turn out the same way. Using it for pancakes, though, is an excellent choice!

Bisquick differs from regular flour in that it already contains a blend of ingredients, including flour, leavening agents, and sometimes added flavors or spices. This pre-mixed nature makes it a convenient option for quick and easy baking.

Is Bisquick and biscuit mix the same? ›

Homemade Bisquick Mix is basically an all-purpose biscuit mix, that you add wet ingredients to, to complete a recipe. I use it for biscuits, but many people use it for pancakes, waffles and other baked goods.
