Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups Gluten Free Bisquick
1 tablespoon baking powder (*Use aluminum free!)
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold!)
1 cup milk (* see note)

Steps:

Add the gf Bisquick, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk to blend them together.
Add the cold unsalted butter into the gluten free flour mixture. Hold the large bowl as you use a pastry cutter to cut the cold butter into the flour. You want the bits of butter to be the size of small peas.
HINT: Be sure the butter is very cold! Many readers ask me if they can use a food processor to mix the flour and butter together. You can use the food processor, but it is very easy to over blend the butter in the dough. If the dough is over-mixed, it will not have flaky layers.
Add 1 cup of milk to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Preheat the oven to 425º F.
Important Tip: Let the soft dough sit for 15 minutes. This is critical because the gluten free Bisquick baking mix is gritty due to the large ratio of rice flour. Letting the batter sit will allow some moisture to absorb into the rice flour and let it soften.
Place the dough on wax paper and press to 1 1/2 inches thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut biscuits out of the dough.
Place the biscuits onto a baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or use an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk. This will help the biscuits get a golden brown color on top.
Bake the biscuits for 20-22 minutes until the tops are golden. Remove the biscuits from the oven and place them on a cooling rack. We love to enjoy them hot out of the oven with melted butter.
