Gluten-Free Biscuits Recipe (Made with Bisquick!) - Maebells (2024)

These Gluten-Free Biscuits are made with Bisquick and come together in under 25 minutes! Perfect for weekend breakfasts!

When Mr. Maebell was diagnosed with Celiac we were just a couple kids in high school. After learning about the diagnosis, the gravity of the situation set in. He had to totally eliminate gluten from his diet. That meant no wheat, oats, barley or rye.

Not only did we have to rule those things out of his diet, but we also had to make sure there was no opportunity for cross contamination. We lived in a very small rural town where finding gluten-free alternatives were practically impossible. This was not going to be easy, but he didn’t utter a complaint, he was totally fine. He just said okay and went with it.

I, on the other hand, cried because I had been feeding him Wheat Thins in 4th period Economics for several months prior.

That was almost 10 years ago, and to this day I still think it is one of the most defining moments of our relationship. He is a roll with it, laid back, don’t worry ’bout a thing, it will all be okay kind of guy. I am a dramatic, oh my gosh, this is terrible, we need a game plan for this life changing event kind of person.

In other words, total and complete opposites. I thought of all of the things he would never eat again —bread, pasta, cake, pie, beer, pizza. How would he have a normal life? We were a couple months away from moving off to college, what would we do? Going out to dinner would be impossible, being a guest in someone else’s home would be so much more of an inconvenience. These are all of the things that I worried about.

In reality, I knew things could have been much worse. All he had to do was change his diet. No crazy medical treatments, no surgeries. We were very fortunate that if he had to have a medical issue it was one that could be so easily managed. So, the search began to find new favorites since everything he liked before was now out.

It wasn’t long before we did come up with things that worked. Things that kept him fed and satisfied but there were also these beautiful rare occasions we didn’t find something that just worked, we found something heloved.These biscuits, these gorgeous, fluffy, soft Bisquick buttermilk biscuits were one of the first major successes.

To anyone else, this is just a recipe with flour, milk, eggs, and butter. To me, it made me feel like everything was going to be okay. It made me feel a normalcy that we had lost for a while. It was assurance that I could be a proper Southern woman that sends her husband to the duck blind with sausage and biscuits. 🙂

I know it is such a cliche to say that things happen for a reason. Sometimes I am not sure I even really believe that. But when I think about the fact that out of all the people in this big crazy world I found him and he found me I think someone, somewhere knew what they were doing.

After all, not many people would see the sentimental value of gluten-free Buttermilk Biscuits.

Tips for Making Gluten-Free Biscuits

• To ensure the top of the biscuits turn out nice and golden, brush them with melted butter before baking them.
• You need to use real buttermilk for this recipe. Regular milk won’t give the same results!
• A few readers have asked about making these Bisquick biscuits dairy-free. I don’t have much experience with dairy-free baking, so I’m not sure what to recommend! However, I’ve read online that you can add some vinegar or lemon juice to non-dairy milk to create a buttermilk alternative.
