Gluten Free Drop Biscuits

Prepared by Sarah Shilhavy, Photo by Jeremiah Shilhavy

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1 dozen biscuits

1/4 cup coconut flour
3/4 cup brown rice flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup tapioca starch/flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (cut back to a generous pinch if using salted butter)
1/3 cup butter or coconut oil, melted
3/4 – 1 cup organic whole raw milk
2 eggs

Preheat over to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Blend all the dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl until well mixed.

Make a well in the center of the flour mix and add remaining ingredients, mixing well. Add more milk if dough looks too dry. The dough should be wet and sticky.

Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto prepared cookie sheet (you should get 12 biscuits).

Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown.

Notes: Experiment with adding shredded cheese and other flavors like garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, oregano, etc. for a different flavor. A great combo is shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder! Start out with about 1 cup of shredded cheese and 1/2 -1 teaspoon garlic powder. Enjoy!

These biscuits turned out great. I didn't have any brown rice flour so I substituted sorghum flour and they were wonderful.
My husband who doesn't usually like any gluten free breads just scarfed them up!!!

These biscuits were delicious! I use a gluten free flour mix that I made using brown rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour, and used 1 1/2 cups of my flour mixture in place of the brown rice, cornstarch, tapioca mix, and they turned out fantastic! My husband and children are very grateful to eat biscuits again. Thank you so much!

These look delicious... I can't wait to try them. Would it be possible to substitute coconut milk for the regular milk? I can't have dairy. Thanks!

I substituted quinoa flour for the brown rice flour. Ground it up in the blender,so it was probably a bit more on the coarse side. They came out wonderfully soft, light, and tasty. I think I will put the dry ingredients together in ziplock bags so I can just mix them up on weekend mornings.Absolutely delicious.
