How to make Gluten Free Bacon Cheddar Biscuits (Overview)

Making these biscuits is as easy as pie! (Well, sort of—they’re even easier!) Start by whisking the dry ingredients, then cut in some cold butter until it resembles sand. Toss in your cheese and crispy bacon, give it a little stir, and combine it with buttermilk. Next, drop spoonfuls on the baking sheet and let them bake until they’re golden.

Pro tip: Use cold butter for a flaky texture, and don’t overmix after adding the buttermilk. Nobody wants dense biscuits!

Tips to make Gluten Free Bacon Cheddar Biscuits

Add some herbs: A sprinkle of chives or green onions kicks up the flavor profile.
Experiment with cheeses: Swap sharp cheddar for pepper jack for a spicy twist!
Make-ahead: You can prepare the dough a day in advance and bake them fresh the next day.
Gluten-free flour: Make sure your flour blend contains xanthan gum for the best results. 🙌

Variation

Love a little kick? Try adding some jalapeños or switch it up with smoked gouda instead of cheddar. Vegan? No problem! Substitute the cheese with your favorite plant-based option and use coconut oil or vegan butter instead.
