My family and I love these biscuits. They are my quick and easy go-to recipe. I double the recipe and put the eggs in the batter as others suggested. Delicious!

Judy

These biscuits are terrible. It’s like a flavorless irish soda bread: hard on the outside, and bread-y throughout. I knew it wouldn’t be a traditional biscuit but had hoped it would be like a drop biscuit. It is not. Do not waste your time and ingredients. Zero stars.

I did two eggs add skipped the egg wash (I didn’t like it the first tine I made these). I also added half a jalapeño finely diced and shredded pepperjack cheese. They turned out really good!

Kelly

Finally! A good GF biscuit. Thank you!! It was nice & moist. Next time, I’ll skip the egg yolk wash. That was just weird eating it like that.

Shirley Woodworth

These are a five. Haven’t had a biscuit like this for a long time. I cooked them in my black iron Dutch oven. On convection bake, added butter to the hot oven. Can I cook them with the lid on.? We have celiacs love this flour.

Sue Friedkin

I too like the taste of these, but my batter was also way too runny. Should I add extra 1:1 flour until they handle more like regular biscuits? Mine were also more like thick pancake batter. Couldn’t handle with my hands at all. But good flavor and rose well. Thank you!

pattiSue Friedkin

I bet you can add a lid bc biscuit can be cooked even on a skillet and topped with lid...my memaw used to use a hoe cake pan that was half moon shaped and she would flip and brown the other side without moving the biscuits

Val

I appreciated reading the comments before trying this recipe. I quadrupled the recipe and used 4 eggs and only three egg whites. I also measured the flour by scoop, tap (tap tap), level which always ends up heavier than the gram weight specified on the bag. In this case, my cup measures weighed about 180 grams each. I used a little flour on my hands when dividing dough and forming into rough balls. The dough was slightly sticky. The biscuits were craggy and certainly tasty but a little flatter than traditional for a biscuit. Next time I may reduce the egg whites to half what the recipe calls for and see if taller biscuits result. The texture was sturdy and would slice nicely for a sandwich. This quick, low-fat recipe is a keeper.

Molly

I love all of B’s Red Mill products, but I must have done something wrong here as my “dough” was really runny, like pancake batter & in no way could be formed into a biscuit shape. The recipe didn’t call for xanthun gum, but I added a scant 1/4 tsp. which it says to do on the gluten free flour mix. Could that be the reason?

Elaine Cook

I apologize if this question was answered above already. I am new to gluten free baking. My son-in-law is also allergic to eggs. I was wondering if your egg replacer would work with this biscuit recipe and if so, how would I adjust for the egg white and yolk only?

QueriaElaine Cook

Hi, my son is also allergic to dairy, eggs so I use chia seeds soaked in water. Let it sit in a little water for 10min or more and it will swell up giving it a yoke like Dexe texture. I use it for all my baked good that casue for eggs and also in my meatloaf.

Whitney BarnesElaine Cook

Hi Elaine - We haven't tried it but that should work. Follow the directions on the back of the bag to replace one whole egg and one egg white for the biscuit mixture. Rather than brushing the biscuits with egg yolk, brush them with milk (plant or dairy) before baking.

DeLynda Darby

When it calls for vinegar, what does that mean? I have white and apple cider, is there a specific type this calls for? I’m new to baking with vinegar so I have no clue which one to use.

Whitney BarnesDeLynda Darby

Hi DeLynda - You could use either, but I'd suggest the apple cider vinegar as it has a more mild taste. The vinegar reacts with the baking powder, causing the biscuits to rise.

darla

I saw that people thought the recipe was too runny when doubled, so when I doubled it, I added 2 eggs and 1 egg white and the biscuits stayed formed.

pattidarla

Glad to see you share that this, i guess maybe some measurements are not spot on. I just recently tossed a set of older measuring nesting cups in the trash bc they were inaccurate ? More flour by the spoonful if something is too wet or soft...its an easy fix usually

Bonnie

I doubled this recipe and my biscuits, though delicious, came out flat, almost like pancakes. The batter was pretty thin. Should I have just added more flour to stiffen it up? Or used less liquid in the first place? Thanks.

Sarena ShasteenBonnie

Hey Bonnie, we are glad the flavor was good, but they definitely should have been fluffy. I would add a touch more flour to them next time if the batter is too thin. They should feel more like a biscuit dough and definitely not a batter.

Bdette

I have made these three times already and they are amazing. Their taste has an essence of vinegar but it is hardly noticeable.

Lin Patty

I'm not sure what could have gone wrong but the biscuits made with this recipe were a disaster! They were gloppy when I added and mixed the ingredients and my dog has eaten some of them but people do not want any part of them.

Kathy

I followed directions exactly. These were very runny so I used a spoon to ladle them onto skillet. It made 4 biscuits instead of 2. I didn't think there was much hope but they worked. They were more like a large soft bready cookies. My gluten intolerant husband loved them. Perfect! Don't change a thing. I'll try making more by scaling them up. Good job.

Katr

I echo a couple others - either the ratios or the instructions in this recipe are way off! The “dough” is entirely wet, which makes sense when you think about 1/2 c flour with a whole egg, egg white and vinegar. The result was like pancake batter so unsurprisingly we ended up with one pancake at the end - they definitely did not hold their shape even though we added an extra 1/2 c flour. Hopefully they fix this!

Natalie Sager

I just made these, doubled the recipe. Then when I sat down to read all the comments while they were baking in the oven I figured I’d made a big mistake.
No - mine were perfect! I usually make drop biscuits anyway in my gluten baking days, and they are wet and lumpy, and so these seemed fine to me. I did feel they needed to cook longer, so I gave them another 5 minutes. Perfect! I will surely maybe these again.

Kelly B

I’m trying this for the first time tonight using the recipe as listed above and mine is also very wet. What size eggs should we be using? I have large eggs on hand, but is this recipe better with medium eggs?

Stacy

Doubling this recipe was a disaster, it was entirely too wet I had to keep adding in more and more flour until it became close enough to dough consistency to even put it on a pan. Guess I will have to practice with egg to flour ratios to get it right.

Leah Torres

I have a lot of the 1 to 1 GF flour as well as other Bob’s GF products and someone gave me a sample of egg replacer, but most of it sits in the pantry because where I was once an experienced novice baker, I’m recently faced with dairy and egg issues on top of the gluten problem. In short, i am afraid to veer from recipes because I don’t understand the science and substitutions behind GF baked goods the way I understood wheat products. Your biscuits look amazing and I would love to know how to substitute egg replacer or use aquafaba from either a white bean or garbanzos. Thank you.

Lisa Wilcox

I bought Bob's Gluten Free Biscuit & Baking Mix thinking I could make drop biscuits for strawberry shortcake like Mom used to do with Bisquick. But Bisquick had the recipe on the box! I'm not sure what I need to do. ;-)

Whitney BarnesLisa Wilcox

Hi Lisa! Using our Gluten Free Biscuit & Baking Mix you can use the same recipe that's listed on the back to make drop biscuits. Follow steps 1 and 2 as listed. Rather than rolling and cutting out the biscuits, simply scoop and portion the dough directly onto the prepared baking tray. Bake as directed. Enjoy! :)

Gluten Free Biscuits

Marie DiPietro

Hi there - I am wondering if I can substitute All Purpose Baking Flour for the 1 to 1 Baking Flour and have the same results? If not, do you have a recipe that is as easy and has the same style results using your All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Flour? Thanks for the help!

Whitney BarnesMarie DiPietro

Hi Marie, we haven't tested that. If you try it, we recommend using our Gluten Free All Purpose with the addition of 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum. The result will likely be denser and not as fluffy. If it'd something you try we'd love to hear your results!

Adrienne Masler

I tried to double this the first time I made it and it was WAY too wet. Will try the original recipe later to see how that goes, but 2 eggs and 2 whites is far too much liquid for 1 cup of flour.

pattiAdrienne Masler

Im glad to read the outcome for most of you but while reading this recipe and noticing the 2nd egg yolk was for basting i opted out on the 2nd egg lol...just bc i prefer to baste top with full fat buttermilk and you should try its wonderful how it browns up biscuits. So one egg for me and i will repot bk :D Patti

NancyAdrienne Masler

I had the same problem - like thick pancake mix. But it tastes OK and has almost no fat (except for what's in the eggs) so I too will try again. Wondering though about the suggestion to separate into biscuits? Impossible with what I ended up with!

Cessione del Quinto Milano

Really delicious! With this simple and quick recipe you can start the day good and you are sure of a healthy and genuine food, prepared without the use of food preservatives and dyes.

Cheryl

I am brand new to not just gluten free baking, but baking without a mix. Thank you for that sympathetic grimace, lol. If I want to double or triple this, do I double/triple all of the ingredients?

Whitney BarnesCheryl

Hi Cheryl - yes, you would just double/triple all the ingredients to increase the recipe. If you have any questions please feel free to contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-349-2173 or customerservice@bobsredmill.com - Thanks! :)

Naomi Chamberlin

Hello does this biscuit recipe work with the Paleo baking flour? I have to use the grain free GF flours. Also are you able to use this flour as replacing regular recipes like you can with the 1-1 flour? Thank you Naomi Chamberlin

Whitney BarnesNaomi Chamberlin

Hi Naomi, we haven't tested it with our Paleo Baking Flour but I don't think you'd have the same results - the main ingredient in that flour is almond. You can use our Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour as a 1-to-1 replacement in most recipes but our Paleo Flour is a bit different, higher in fat and dense as it is grain free. You can find all of our developed recipes for Paleo Flour here: Paleo Flour Recipes.

pattiWhitney Barnes

I do love the combination of both almond and some 1:1 for cake for sure, i find that using all almond will cause a heavy affect and the sponginess just doesn't seem to be there for me. The almond flour is so good in a banana nut cake <3

Leah Lowe

These did not suck!!! YAY!!!! A gluten free biscuit that doesn’t fall apart or taste like grit! YAY!!!! I just enjoyed a sausage biscuit that I could eat with one hand. Kudos to you and many thanks! I’ll absolutely print this one out.

Maggie

I think the recipe is written incorrectly? It says put the eggs whites in the dough and the use the egg yolks as a wash on top. I did this and it didn’t turn out right

Whitney BarnesMaggie

Hi Maggie! The recipe calls for 1 whole egg and 1 egg white in the biscuit mixture. The remaining egg yolk is used to brush the top. How did yours turn out?
