What You Need:
- Bobs Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour - the King Arthur all-purpose gluten free flour works really well too
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Butter
- Milk
- 8 inch Cast Iron Skillet
Let's Make Drop Biscuits:
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the food processor and pulse 2-3 times to combine the dry ingredients.
- Cut the cold butter into chunks and add to the dry ingredients in the processor. Pulse until butter is the size of small peas and transfer to a bowl.
- Pour ¾ cup of the milk into the mixture and use hands to combine. Add remaining milk as needed. Should be dough like and not too sticky.
- Use ¼ cup scoop to make 10 rolls of dough. Drop them into a well greased skillet (8 in)
- Bake at 450'F for 18-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Brush tops with butter as desired.
Optional Add-Ins:
- Chives and bacon bits
- Fresh or dried herbs
- Add 1-2 Tbls of sugar for a bit sweeter of a biscuit
My all time favorite way to enjoy these biscuits is with my Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Soup. We serve them on top and eat a piece of biscuit with each bite of soup. They melt perfectly into the soup for that comforting 'pot pie' feel.

Tried this recipe?Mention @thebetteredblondie
Would this work in a stainless steel skillet?
Came upon your recipe looking for a good GF drop biscuit recipe I could use for Chicken and Dumplings. These came out fantastic. I did use my usual GF baking mix/flour sub (Montana GF flour), and baked the dumplings in a cast iron covered skillet at 450 degrees. Seriously, they were amazing. Definitely a keeper!
These are fabulous and easy. The chunks of butter and cast iron skillet make all the difference!!!
So glad that you enjoyed them!
