These gluten free biscuits bring the warm flaky country flavor to the dinner table, they go great with every meal from a pile of ribs, or as a breakfast sandwich!
When I developed these lovely allergies, I never thought I would taste a flaky biscuit ever again… But, my taste buds can finally rejoice! These little biscuits are exactly what you expect without that evil gluten! They are crispy on the outside, riddled with layers of flaky dough, and moist on the inside.
The moment these little gems came out of the oven I started to realize the endless recipes I could make with them. I immediately paired the fresh gluten free biscuits with some dairy free butter and jam, and had them with bacon and eggs the next morning! Having a go to biscuit recipe is truly so underrated. Those layers are powerful indeed.

Nikki’s Notes for Gluten Free Biscuits
- I do not have a pastry cutter, so I grate my butter and throw it in the freezer! It makes it much easier to incorporate into the flour with a fork!
- To make dairy free buttermilk you just add a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of dairy free milk. I used unsweetened soy milk!
- DO NOT overmix or over handle dough. This will make for a tough biscuit which no one wants!
- The best tip for making biscuits is keeping everything cold, so move fast! Make sure your oven is preheated before mixing the dough. The cold butter and dough are what keep them flaky and layered!
