pin this recipe to your gluten free recipes board
My mom has always made the best biscuits ever. They’re flaky, they’ve got a little bit of crunch to the bottom and they taste amazing.
No, they’re not southern biscuits. We’re New Englanders so you won’t find a southern biscuit here. But these do not disappoint.
However, when my mom went gluten-free a few years ago, she stopped making these biscuits. Basically, she was punishing us. Just kidding.
She really did stop making them, just not to punish us. I’m just a tad bit dramatic…These days, she’ll occasionally make her regular version of them for us gluten-eaters and she uses a gluten free box mix to make biscuits for herself and my husband.
But, since Adam missed my mom’s regular biscuits so much, I’ve started using her recipe to make them gluten-free.
Key Ingredients for these Gluten Free Biscuits
- All purpose gluten free flour (omit xanthan gum if using Bob’s Red Mill 1:1)
- Fine sea salt
- Butter, cubed and COLD
Equipment Needed
How to make Gluten Free Biscuits
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
Step 2. Cut in the butter using a fork or pastry cutter.
Step 3. Stir in the milk until incorporated. Form the dough into a ball.
Step 4. Roll out the dough until desired thickness. (about 1 1/2 to 2 inches)
Step 5. Use a 2 inch biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits.
Step 6. Place biscuits on ungreased cookie sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until done.
Note- You can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
One of the keys to good gluten free biscuits is properly measuring the flour. I know technically, I should be weighing the flour but I don’t actually have a digital kitchen scale so I use measuring cups.
Plus, based on my reader survey, you guys all seem to be using many different flour mixes so giving a measurement by weight would be pointless unless you used my exact flour blend (see below for the one I use).
Before measuring my flour for any recipe, I give the flour a quick stir. Then I spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge, like the back of a knife or the handle of the spoon I used for scooping.
That way, I’m not using too much flour. USING TOO MUCH FLOUR WILL MAKE THESE BISCUITS DENSE.
I must say, I’ve had the best results with these gluten free biscuits when I use my Brown Rice Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend. I’ve tried them with white rice flour blends and they’re not nearly as good.
The white rice flour is heavier than brown rice flour and it makes the biscuits a bit heavier and more dense, even if you measure the flour properly.
Another key to getting that beautiful flaky separation in these biscuits is chilling the dough after you cut them. Once I cut out all the biscuits, I place them on the baking sheet and put the whole sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. I’ve added that to the notes in the recipe as this is a new and improved step!
These gluten free biscuits are great as a bread product with dinner but I have an equal amount of love for them for breakfast. I love warming them up with a bit of butter and some honey or jam. De-licious.
They also freeze really well so if you’ve got extras, stick in the freezer and then reheat them by wrapping them in aluminum foil and heating them in the oven.
Craving gluten free biscuits and gravy? Try it with these! I’ve also got a great sausage recipe that would be great to make a gluten free biscuit sandwich with!
So you guys can get rid of your boxed gluten-free biscuit mixes now (ahem… mom…) and give this recipe a try. It’s easy and the results are great! For a gluten free drop biscuit recipe, check out my Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake – I use this base recipe and add a bit more milk. They’re just as fantastic!

Gluten Free Biscuits
These easy and simple Gluten Free Biscuits are a gluten free version of my mom’s biscuits. These buttery, flaky, fluffy gluten free biscuits are everything you want in a biscuit!
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 6 tablespoons Butter, Cubed and cold
- 3/4 cup Milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, salt and baking powder. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
- Stir in the milk until incorporated. You may need an additional 1-2 tablespoons of milk to insure all the flour is moistened. Form the dough into a ball and knead about 10 times in the bowl.
- Roll the dough out on a floured board to desired thickness (biscuits will not rise much while baking). I roll the dough to about 1 ½ - 2 inches thick. Use a 2 inch biscuit cutter to cut the biscuits. Gently re-roll dough as needed.
- Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes (uncovered) before baking. You can also make the dough a few hours ahead of time and leave refrigerated until ready to bake.
- After 30 minutes chilling, bake 12-15 minutes or until done (cooking time will depend on thickness of the biscuit). Serve warm.
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container or bag overnight or freeze.
Notes
- For best results, use Sharon’s Brown Rice Flour Blend. Using a blend with white rice flour will yield a denser biscuit.
- For even better results, use buttermilk instead of regular milk or add 2 teaspoons of white vinegar to the regular milk 5 minutes before using.
- See post for properly measuring the flour. Over-measuring the flour will result in heavy, dense biscuits.

I am definitely making these. Can’t wait to enjoy them in the morning with my eggs.
These would be fantastic with eggs 🙂
I made these biscuits best receipe I found so far I also froze them and they came out perfect .
Thank you for sharing
❤️❤️
So besides how delicious these biscuits look, I totally have that silver platter the biscuits are sitting on! Or one that is extremely similar!! My Nana handed it down to me. How funny 🙂
This one says “Give us this day our daily bread” – my mom has one that we used every day at dinner. I saw this at Macy’s a several years ago and scooped it up!
These look fabulous! Nice and tall…mmm…
I’ve never made good biscuits — even before going gluten free. Will have to try you recipe and cross my fingers.
I just perfected making biscuits before I found out I had celiac, and probably had it for 19 years. I’m not 100% sure I can ever enjoy baked goods now I am using GF flour, but I have a little more hope after viewing. And I’ll try these this weekend and serve with apricot jam and black strap molasses cuz why? Cuz I say so! That’s why. LOL still looking for something to put jam and toppings on since I avoid anything that’s fake bread.
I was just recently diagnosed with celiac disease & I am having a terrible time cooking this way. I’m having issues with eating & nothing tasting good to me. I really miss bread and such. I hope I can fix this & make it taste as good as your pics make it look. Thank you so much.
The transition is very difficult. But you need to be patient, I’ve had bread that tastes so much like real bread!!! Try Canyon Bakehouse and if you can find it, Barilla Gluten free pasta is inexpensive and cheap. Scharr bread is good too!
Good Luck!!
I made these this morning and they were delicious!!! Super easy to make, too!! Thanks!
Hi! These biscuits look amazing – and so does the rest of your blog! I’m just wondering, what if I use a ready-made store-bought gluten-free blend (that has rice flour, tapioca flour and corn flour) instead of your rice flour blend? Will it make a big difference?
Hi Felicia, thanks for your sweet comment! A store-bought flour blend would work fine. If your blend contains xanthan gum in it, just omit the tsp from the recipe since my blend doesn’t already have it mixed in.
Finally!!! I have tried various recipes for a good biscuit, but now, have finally found the best!! It’s like eating a before GF biscuit. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
So glad you enjoyed them!
Hi – do you think I could make these with a milk alternative? If so which would be best as a substitute? THANKS!
I would try it with unsweetened coconut milk (from the carton. That’s my go-to alternative milk for baking since it doesn’t have as much flavor/taste as some of the nut milks.
I made these for my brother-in-law who is diary free/gluten free and they turned out super yummy! I substituted all natural vegetable shortening for the butter and unsweetened cashew milk for regular milk!
Definitely going on my “allergy love” cooking list!
I have been dairy-free for 25 years. My go to is goat milk. Cow’s milk will send me to the emergency room but goat milk is fine. I prefer it because it is real milk not a substitute.
My grandfather-in-law really loves goats milk too, he grew up on it! Have you tried it in this recipe?
I want to love your blog so much, but every time I come on here I’m so inundated with ads it’s so difficult to get the recipe. I don’t know if you’ve had this complaint before and maybe it’s worse on a mobile device but I thought you should know.
Hi Megan,
Thank you for your comment. I’m sorry the ads cause such a negative impact for you. Although they can be annoying, I rely on the revenue they bring in to pay for the upkeep of this blog. Running a website is fairly expensive as is recipe development (especially with gluten free ingredients!). Hopefully in the future it will be possible for me to remove some ads 🙂
thanks for a biscuit recipe using butter. most of the time they call for lard or veg. shortening which i feel has less flavor
These look easy enough for me to do! The big question that I have – how well would these work in Monkey Bread? Big favorite at my house and I’ve searching for a good recipe for it.
Hi Rita, I’ve never actually made monkey bread so I’m not able to tell you for sure. I think if you were to use this recipe though, I would use a little bit more milk in the biscuits.
Just made these for dinner, wonderful wonderful wonderful! I have a few left for breakfast tomorrow! Sharon, I love your recipes, keep up the good work, you make being gluten free easy!!!
Thanks Vivian!!
Would these freeze well? Either in dough form or cooked form? I can not wait to try them!
I think these would freeze fine! I haven’t frozen them but I use this same recipe with extra milk for a drop biscuit version (for shortcakes) and I freeze those. We actually just ate some of them that I found in the freezer from July and they were like I had just made them!
This is pretty much how I make my biscuits (except I never do measure things lol). But instead of using so much butter, I use coconut oil and butter together. Not that I don’t like using butter, because I do, but it just made mine even lighter and more fluffy soft. This sounds like a great recipe!
1/2 coconut oil sounds like a great sub to lighten it up a bit!
Well, I’ve hit a snag. My biscuits came out as hockey pucks. They didn’t rise at all. What did I do wrong? I will be trying again you can count on that!
Hi Robyn, you may have over-worked the dough a bit. If you mix it too much or knead or re-roll it too many times then it will become dense. They also don’t rise too much so don’t roll the dough out too thin. Try mixing in the milk until it just comes together and try to handle it as little as possible. Hope that helps! 🙂
Hi, I’m so hungry right now for these delicious looking biscuts and my computer will not allow me to print the recipe. I’m so upset because I have been looking for a recipe like yours ever since I was diagnosed with this celic desiese. I was wondering if there is someplace else I can go to find it and print it out. Please help me!
Thanks,
Deborah
Hi Deborah!
I’m sorry your computer won’t allow it to print, not sure why? You can try copying the text and pasting into a Word document to print. Hope that helps!
Thanks for using an actual photo of your gf biscuits instead of a gluten-filled, golden brown biscuit. I have seen way too many photos that drew me in only to find they were not a true representation of the recipe. I want to know what these should look like after I bake them and you have provided just that. Thanks for your research and for sharing your recipe. Can’t wait to give them a try!
Oh! My! WORD! ! I “researched” all afternoon for the perfect recipe to make biscuits and gravy for dear hubby who has recently been diagnosed with a ton of food allergies. I picked this recipe as your pictures looked the most biscuit -like;) After mixing a double batch of mixed flours, and rereading the recipe, I realized you called for baking powder. Hubby is allergic to corn so I had to quickly get creative 🙂 For a *double* batch of biscuits I did (in place of baking powder): 2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cream of tartar AND 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (added to the milk while I prepared the other items). I was able to get 9 biscuits per batch (baked separately). These were SO beautiful AND crazy good. Thanks for helping me make one of his favorites. I already plan to make them for Christmas breakfast. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing your baking powder alternative! So glad you love the biscuits as much as my family does and that you were able to make them despite your husbands allergies 🙂
I use better batter gluten free flour mix. It already has xanthan gum in the mix so should I omit the xanthan gum when making these biscuits?
Hi Rhonita, I haven’t used better batter flour but since it has xanthan gum in it, I would omit adding extra. I know some mixes that have it already are only ideal for certain baked goods (like muffins, cakes, and brownies) so I can’t say for sure if they’ll have the right texture if you use their flour vs a flour that doesn’t have xanthan gum and using the amount I call for.
If I use almond milk and margarine, will it turn out the same? What do you think?
I have made these with unsweetened coconut milk and shortening. They’re not quite the same but still good.
Can these be made dairy free also?
Hi Jackie,
I’ve made these dairy free with shortening and unsweetened coconut milk. Butter definitely gives the biscuits better flavor though 🙂
A reader above mentioned that she used shortening with unsweetened cashew milk – I think the cashew milk would be very good!
Hi. Could you let me know what brand gluten-free all-purpose flour do you use for this recipe? Thanks!
Hi Gaby, I use my white rice flour blend found here:
I’ve also really like these biscuits with gfJules flour 🙂
These are the best gluten free biscuits I have ever made! Thank you for a great recipe. My previous attempts with other recipes turned out horrible and like hockey pucks. I settled on a drop bisquit recipe that wasn’t bad. But these are amazing!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback Kathryn, so glad you’ve finally found a gluten free biscuit recipe you love!
I’m just really trying to find a recipe, not learn about your life story… if there a recipe someone can give me rather than misleading me to an article about how their grandma makes good gluten free biscuits, it’d be appreciated.
Hi Lee, not sure where the confusion is happening but there is a great gluten free biscuit recipe posted here. If you’re looking for just recipes, try Food Network or All Recipes. You can find recipes there that have no back-story and no personality. But since this is a blog, and it’s MY blog, I will write about myself and my family since it’s a subject near and dear to my heart. Have a sparkling day ????
Hi Sharon…….this sounds like a good quick recipe. I use gfJules flour and am very satisfied with it but think I will try your flour mix too. Do you think that buttermilk would work just as good in this recipe. It’s so much like the one I used before I became gluten intolerant and it made delicious biscuits. Thanks for you input.
Hi Susan – YES buttermilk would be great in this recipe! And if you do have the gfJules flour, it works really great in this recipe 🙂
Sad that there are such unhappy people in this world 😔. If I don’t want to read something on a blog I just skip to the recipe. But I did enjoy your story😊.
These turned out great I didn’t use that gum stuff. They were perfect. Thank you. We just started doing gluten free Drs orders. Hard to get started but we are doing pretty good.
Just so people will know the mixture I did and the results. I had a GF blend in the freezer very similar to yours that I just made this week. I used 2 cups of it, 3 T DF butter, 3 T non hydrogenated shortening(chilled) coconut milk powder mixed with water, 1 egg to make the liquid of 3/4 cup. 1 T baking powder, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 4 tsps. natural raw sugar. I mixed just until moistened, putted out the dough, folded 3 times then patted out again. Cut 5 small biscuits, 6 triangles to use as scones. I sprinkled uns. coconut on the scones. They did not rise very much. Nothing rises to me like using buttermilk in biscuits. I needed them to be DF. The scones have a good taste but just not what I was hoping for. I do think the GF,DF person will like them.
THANK YOU for all you do!!
OOPS!! Patted out the dough.
Hi Charlotte,
What does DF stand for?
DF stands for dairy free
These look delicious whether you need to eat gluten free or not.
Thanks for sharing on #TastyTuesdays
Just prepped the dough (a double batch) and put covered cut biscuits in the fridge until tonight. These are crazy easy and always yummy – even with having to adapt to not use baking powder due to a corn allergy. These are my go to recipe (I’ve made tgem half a dozen times or so) and extended family can’t tell a difference:)
Thanks Jen – so glad you love them! And thanks for the great tip on prepping them ahead of time and letting them hang out in the fridge, I haven’t thought to do that!
Those look so yummy! Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday 🙂
I tried making these, but they weren’t flaky and fluffy like the picture. They were really dense and dry. Any idea what I did wrong?
Hi Rachael, it sounds like you may have over-measured the flour. To prevent that, stir your flour well before using then use a spoon to scoop it into your measuring cup. Use the straight edge of the spoon handle (or knife) to level it off.
I just tried your recipe. I can’t have cow’s milk, but am able to do goat milk. So I used goat milk and butter. It turned out fantastic! I will definitely be using this recipe over and over again!! Thank you for the troubles and trials you must have gone through to get to the place you’re at with your baking. I know it is a long road to travel. But some of us will be eternally grateful! Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know about the goats milk!
Made these this morning. Probably the best GF biscuits I have made…and I have made many! Great taste and consistency. Easy to make. I did it all in my food processor. Thank you for the recipe!!!
Thanks Amy! So glad you loved them!
Will certainly try these today. They look delicious and I will serve them to my unsuspecting company!! Will give you a report on that!
Awesome! Be sure to read the blog post for my updated flour recommendation, measuring the flour properly, and the added chilling time before baking!
TYPO: You must have meant put the sheet of cut dough in the fridge…right???
” Another key to getting that beautiful flaky separation in these biscuits is chilling the dough after you cut them. Once I cut out all the biscuits, I place them on the baking sheet and put the whole sheet in the”oven” for 30 minutes before baking.

YES – Thank you for catching that Gina! I’ve updated it (again haha). And it looks like the recipe card hasn’t been updated yet to reflect that (it’s out of my control as it’s through Food Fanatic who I created this recipe for originally) so that should be completed soon. Thanks again!
I just made these and they are absolutely amazing!!! I’m so happy to have found a way to have bread and other goodies without the gluten! I made your gf flour and followed the recipe to a ‘T’ and they turned out amazing!! so light and flaky! Will be making these over and over!
Thanks for the amazing feedback Kayleigh!
I am really new to this whole gluten free thing and have been looking for recipes to try so me and my kids don’t feel like we are giving up on everything we love. These look really good and I am excited to try this recipe and share it with my kids.
Let me know how your family likes them! And if you have any questions, just let me know 🙂
These were great! I “veganized” them with almond milk and earth balance butter and they turned out very good! Excited for a gluten free, vegan biscuit!
Awesome Melissa! Thanks for sharing what you used to successfully make these vegan!
My mom and I have been gluten free for quite some time, and one food we missed the most was biscuits. We tried different gluten free biscuit recipe, but none of them really tasted like a real biscuit.
After I made these, my mom and I couldn’t believe how much they tasted like REAL biscuits. They’re absolutely incredible! I can’t thank you enough for this amazing recipe!!
Thanks for the great feedback Rebecca! So happy that you and your mom can finally have great biscuits again!
Hi, can I mix this in a food processor to cut in the butter. That’s how I make regular biscuits for the rest of my family, I just wasn’t sure if it would work with this type of flour? Thanks!
I haven’t tried these in a food processor but if you do, just be sure not to cut the butter up too small.
These turned wonderful! Thank you so much. My so said they taste just like my baking powder biscuits with regular flour that I used to make. He is so happy we can have these again!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback Kathleen!
Can these biscuits be frozen after prepping, then just pull them out and bake them?
Hi Savanna, I haven’t tried that. I’ve only frozen them once baked. If you do choose to freeze the dough, let me know how that goes for you!
I can’t wait to make these! Since starting a Low FODMAP Diet, my carb options have been ridiculously limited. These look so fluffy and delicious, I want one right now!
Thanks Amy!
I have been gf for about a year and a half. Actually probably was earlier in my life. My mom used to make regular biscuits all the time. I really miss the many other breads and etc. that was always normal
for me. I am going to make these tomorrow for sure. It really gives me hope to find this recipe. Thanks again!
Hi Donna- I think that you’ll really like the texture of these! Let me know how they come out for you!
Excellent!!!! We used a gf flour blend we had on hand (King Arthur) and used half and half instead of milk because that is what we had in the fridge. They were delicious and satisfied my craving for biscuits nicely, which is nearly impossible being gluten free! Thanks a million for a wonderful recipe.
Thank you Ida, so glad to hear how much you enjoyed them!
Can I make the dough the night before, chill, and bake in the morning??
You can make it a couple hours ahead of time but I haven’t tried it overnight. Let me know how it turns out if you do!
You have given “gluten free” a good name! These are very good! I’m on my third ! 🐷
Thank you! I am eating them with my vegan burrito bowl.
I used {had to use} a gluten free flour mix and room temperature coconut milk (from a can).
Just made these for brunch. First time ever making biscuits. I made a gluten free version using bob mills baking flour and a regular version using flour. I was impressed. My husband even ate one. I used almond milk instead of regular and I didn’t have Xanthan Gum so I just excluded it. They turned out fine! I did let them sit in the fridge for awhile before forming them into biscuits. I also brushed the top with butter once out of the oven.
I’m really glad it worked out for you- especially being your first time making them!
I loved bed these biscuits. This is the second time I made them. This time I used the brown rice flour and chilled them for 30 minutes. . I made a chicken pie and cooked it at 350 for 20 minutes and turned the heat up to 425 and cooked the biscuits on top of the hot chicken pie for 15 minutes. My son said he would never know they were gluten free if I didn’ t tell him. Thanks for a great receipe ♥️
That sounds so delicious! I’m so glad you all enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing this recipe I’ve made these biscuits in the past they were really really good plus I made extra put them in the freezer for later use and they tasted as thou I just made them.
I used Buttermilk like you said and it made the biscuits nice and flaky .
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Patrick!
Sharon,
I’m new to gluten free baking and all of your information is so helpful! Can your biscuits be patted out instead of rolled?
Hi Brenda! Yes, you can definitely gently pat it out instead 🙂
This recipe is so easy, & quick You wouldn’t know it was Gluten Free if someone didn’t tell you. If anyone is making breakfast pizza this recipe works wonderfully! So happy I found it.
Thanks Debbe!
These were fantastic! I did change up the recipe to accommodate a dairy allergy – I used Earth Balance instead of butter and I used coconut milk with some lemon juice to thicken like buttermilk for the milk. They were flavorful, they rose beautifully, and I even froze half of the batch and baked from frozen the next day with great results! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Jolene!!
I am southern and I approve of these biscuits! I made them with Unsweetened Almond Milk. I mixed all of the ingredients with my hands (like a true Southerner) and, other than the ingredients, I did not follow any other part of the recipe. Ha ha!
I mixed them up, rolled them into balls, and placed them on a buttered pan, and baked.
They came out great!!
Soft and buttery and terrific with (almond) milk gravy!
Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome Stephanie, glad you approve!
We just made these for Christmas morning breakfast. My five year old woke up begging for biscuits and chocolate gravy. These were a HUGE hit! GF baking can be a challenge but these were so easy and yummy! Thank you!!!
You’re welcome, glad to hear you loved them!
I prepped my biscuits at night & left them covered in fridge overnight. My biscuits look nothing like the picture (maybe because of my prep). However, they are so good. They texture is very much like a regular biscuit. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback Selene, so glad you loved them!
We made this recipe today for breakfast. My granddaughters loved them. I cut the biscuits into small rectangles and placed Los together. Came out perfectly so much like my flour/shortening non-gluten ones – light and flakey. Didn’t see the chill instructions until ready to bake. ,but really happy with the results
Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear you enjoyed them so much!
Made these last night and they were a hit! Great texture, even though I was lazy and just scooped them out by a spoon. I used Pillsbury Best GF flour because that’s what I had on hand, and they turned out great.
Thanks for the feedback and sharing which flour blend you used 🙂
My husband was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 1988. It was extremely hard back then to even get rice flour much less make a decent biscuit. Now most gf packaged mixes are as good if not better than wheat based products, but I’ve never been happy with the gf biscuit mixes – they were always dense and heavy. Recently I was looking for a better scratch recipe and found Shay’s What the Fork recipe and since I had all the ingredients on hand I made a batch. OMG these are as good as MY grandmother’s regular biscuits. The only problem with making a biscuit as good as these is my husband wants me to make them all the time.
