Gluten-free Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits

Fluffy and cheesy, these Gluten-free Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits are irresistible! They’re the perfect savory breakfast or side dish to soup or any other meal.

Are you a fan of biscuits?

Me too! 🙂

My favorite is drop biscuits, because they’re so easy to make.

Drop biscuits require NO kneading, folding, or cutting of any kind. Instead you make the dough and simply “drop” it onto the pan in spoonfuls.

Unfortunately, gluten-free biscuits can easily end up gummy and super dense! Over the years I’ve tried to make my Great Grandma’s “famous” biscuit recipe gluten-free, and have been so disappointed every time.

So over the last year or so I’ve been on a mission to make the perfect gluten-free drop biscuits. Biscuits that you’d have no idea are gluten-free. And I’ve accomplished that!

These Gluten-free Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits are easy, rustic, fluffy and thick. The perfect hearty accompaniment to a hot soup, or a killer savory breakfast addition to some eggs and bacon.

I’ve got a secret ingredient that makes them better than the other biscuit recipes. It’s not a traditional biscuit ingredient, but gives them the perfect rise and fluff!

If you’ve never had good gluten-free biscuits, THESE are the biscuits you’ve gotta try!

Let’s talk about what makes these drop biscuits so special.

First, that secret ingredient? It’s simple: an egg. Just one egg gives this recipe the extra rise and fluff that gluten-free drop biscuits so desperately need.

It’s an easy addition, that you likely already have, so no special extra ingredients or steps are needed. All you have to do is whisk the egg into your milk and ta da! Fluffy gluten-free biscuits.

These Gluten-free Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits in particular are even better than plain drop biscuits though.

Because, they’re filled with cheddar cheese and garlic powder!

Shredded cheddar cheese throughout gives these biscuits an even BETTER texture. Fluffy and cheesy, with some dried parsley and garlic powder. Plus, the ample flavor of butter.

Does it get any better?!

For these drop biscuits, I’d recommend a high quality gluten-free flour blend.

I’d also recommend using high quality parsley and garlic powder, for the best flavor. If you use cheap parsley and garlic powder, then you may need to use more for a stronger flavor.

Be sure to use cold butter and buttermilk, for the best biscuits. If you don’t have buttermilk, I’d recommend adding 1 1/2 tsp of vinegar (or lemon juice) to your milk of choice and letting it sit till it curdles. This will help give you the tang of the buttermilk that makes these biscuits even better!

In a pinch, regular milk will work too, but the higher the fat content, the better (i.e. whole milk over skim milk).

Other than that, these drop biscuits are super quick and easy to make, with ingredients you probably already have on hand. If you’re like me you won’t be able to get enough.

I hope ya’ll love these gluten-free Garlic Cheddar Drop Biscuits as much as I do! They’re fluffy, cheesy, and perfectly dip-able for a hot bowl of soup.
