Gluten Free Drop Biscuits
I’m always looking for ways to stretch dinner. When last-minute guests arrive, a batch of drop biscuits can make a meal go further without much effort. They’re also simply delicious. Drop biscuits require no rolling or kneading—just mix, drop, and bake. For busy weeknights, these gluten free biscuits are a reliable, fast answer when I want fresh bread on the table.
They bake up tender with a crisp exterior and a soft, cheesy interior. Because they’re drop-style, they come together in minutes and are baked in about 18 minutes, so you can have warm biscuits from start to finish in under 30 minutes.
Ryze Gluten Free Flour Blend
For this recipe I used Ryze Gluten Free Flour Blend. It’s a rice-based blend made without added gums, and I found it gave the biscuits a pleasant texture without the grittiness that can sometimes occur with gluten free flours. The blend handled the recipe well and produced tender, consistent results.
Bacon, Cheddar & Chives
Bacon, cheddar, and chives are a classic combination, and these drop biscuits are full of all three. I use a full cup of shredded sharp cheddar (coarsely shredded, not finely grated) and about half a cup of crumbled bacon so every bite has savory richness. Fresh chives add brightness, and a bit of minced garlic enhances the savory profile.
After combining the dry ingredients, work in a few tablespoons of softened butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the cheese, bacon, chives, and garlic, then add the egg and milk. Mix until just combined, drop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake until golden.
These biscuits are straightforward: mix, drop, and bake. They make a great accompaniment to soups, stews, chicken dishes, or pasta, and they add a comforting, homemade touch to any meal.
They pair especially well with dishes like gluten free chicken piccata or spaghetti and meatballs, but they’re versatile enough to serve with almost any main course. A batch of these biscuits elevates a weeknight dinner or complements a special occasion meal.
Ryze Gluten Free Flour Blend worked perfectly for this Bacon, Cheddar, & Chive Drop Biscuits recipe. Enjoy these warm, savory biscuits at your next meal—happy gluten free eating!
