Fluffy biscuits can be made gluten free or regular. Homemade gravy tops them deliciously.

I love it when I use my gluten free flour in a traditional recipe and the flavor and texture turns out so well. This is an example of one of one of my many triumphs.  I have had a recipe for simple biscuits on hand for a very long time. It had been a while since I made them. The family was eating breakfast out a little while back and something occurred to me… my oldest son often orders biscuits and gravy, and I don’t think I have ever made gravy from scratch for him. Well, now I can say I have. The recipe in this post is for the biscuits, but the next post will be for my gravy.  As with most of my gluten-free baked goods, you can use traditional flour in it’s place.

Pictured below are both gluten free and regular flour biscuits. Can you tell the difference?

Directions

  • Heat oven to 450° F

  • Add shortening, and using a pastry cutter, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate small bowl, beat the egg into the milk.
  • Pour the egg and milk into the flour mixture and stir until just moistened.
  • Turn onto a floured surface and knead about 15 times.
  • Roll to approx. 3/4 inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter (or empty tin can), cut out biscuits and transfer to a baking sheet.
