Gluten Free Drop Biscuits
I’m always looking for easy ways to stretch a meal when company drops by or when I need a fast side. Drop biscuits are a handy, tasty solution—no rolling or kneading, just a quick mix and bake. They’re one of my favorite gluten free breads for a speedy dinner.
Drop biscuits come together in minutes and bake up tender and flavorful. They’re ideal when you want fresh bread without the fuss of yeast-based recipes.
Ryze Gluten Free Flour Blend
For these biscuits I used Ryze Gluten Free Flour Blend, a rice-based mix with no added gums. I’d heard good things from other gluten free bakers and was pleased with the results: a smooth texture without the grittiness that can appear in some gluten free bakes.
The blend performed well here, producing light biscuits with good structure and a pleasant mouthfeel.
Bacon, Cheddar & Chives
Bacon, cheddar, and chives are an unbeatable combination. These drop biscuits are packed with a full cup of shredded sharp cheddar (use the thick-cut shred for better texture) and about a half cup of crumbled bacon for savory depth. Chives add a fresh, onion-like brightness, and a touch of minced garlic enhances the overall flavor.
After combining the dry ingredients, work in a few tablespoons of butter until the mixture becomes crumbly, then stir in the cheddar, chives, and bacon. Add an egg and milk, mix to combine, drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet, and bake until golden.
These biscuits are fast to prepare—about 10 minutes of hands-on time and roughly 18–20 minutes in the oven. From start to finish you can have fresh biscuits in under 30 minutes.
They pair beautifully with a wide range of dinners. Try them alongside chicken piccata, spaghetti and meatballs, or any hearty weeknight meal to add a special, home-baked touch.
Ryze Gluten Free Flour Blend worked exceptionally well in this recipe. If you enjoy baking gluten free, this blend is worth trying for tender, consistent results.
Happy gluten free eating!
