My Favorite Gluten Free Easter Dishes: Fluffy Garlicky Cheddar Biscuits

A given for any holiday meal is a side of rolls. We usually have always had Pillsbury biscuits, you know the kind you have to pop open the roll and peel them apart (that was always my favorite part)! In recent years however, much to my dismay, I haven’t been able to grab one of these fluffy delights. This year, however, is a whole different story and I’m so excited to share these Gluten Free Garlicky Cheddar Biscuits. Thanks to Betty Crocker’s Bisquick mix, which I introduced you to here not too long ago, I’m now able to make light and fluffy biscuits that are perfect for any meal, holiday or everyday. This great mix combined with Betty Crocker’s fabulous recipe, you’ll end up with delicious garlic biscuits flavored with just a hint of cheese. Make sure you pick up a box of this wonderfully versatile mix and give these biscuits a try for your Easter holiday this year! 

Ingredients:

Depending on how many people you have you can adjust the recipe accordingly. For a normal dinner for just my husband, daughter, and myself I usually half the recipe to make about 6 normal size biscuits.

• 2 cups Bisquick Gluten Free Mix
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup firm butter (Smart Balance)
• 2/3 cup skim milk
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Jack or Cheddar cheese 
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup melted butter (Garlic Butter Topping)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder (Garlic Butter Topping)

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 
• In a medium bowl, add 2 cups Bisquick mix and 1/4 tsp garlic powder and combine.
• Using a fork, cut in 1/4 cup cold, firm butter until mixture has coarse crumbs throughout (this makes the biscuits fluffy), so the more crumbs the better!
• Mix in 2/3 cup milk, 3 eggs, and 1/2 cup cup shredded cheese until you form a soft dough.

• Using a tablespoon, add heaping spoonfuls to an ungreased cookie sheet. Depending on size, you’ll usually get between 10 and 12 biscuits from this amount of batter.

• Bake biscuits for about 8 to 10 minutes until tops are a light golden brown. I like to touch the middle of of the biggest one to make sure the biscuit is firm and cooked all the way through.
• For topping, add 1/4 cup butter to microwavable bowl and melt. 
• To melted butter, mix in 1/4 tsp garlic powder. 
• Before removing biscuits from baking sheet, brush melted garlic butter on top of the biscuits.

• Serve biscuits warm and with butter!

These biscuits are so quick and easy to make and bake, making them a perfect addition to any holiday meal! When dinner’s ready, just pull out your favorite butter and add some to the middle of your biscuits to create a wonderfully moist center! A light butter is the perfect addition to these fluffy pillows of garlicky gluten free goodness! The best thing about these biscuits is the texture, which everyone knows can be lacking in gluten free baked goods but I assure you that that is not the case for these. These biscuits are perfectly light and fluffy and moist at the same time, just what a biscuit should be and very reminiscent of those warm and buttery gluten filled biscuits that you could get at Cracker Barrel or even in a breakfast sandwich at McDonalds. I don’t know about you but I’m definitely in the mood for a warm biscuit now. I might just have to whip up a batch of these for little one and myself, maybe for egg sandwiches? The possibilities are endless!

TIP: You can even prepare these ahead of time and heat them slightly for a few minutes at a warm setting in your oven when you’re ready to enjoy.
