Biscuits - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 19

An all time favorite. This was the first bread I learned to make. I even used to use the same recipe to make boiled dumplings that couldn't be beat. At one point, I went about ten years without making them. Then, after living gluten free, I never quite got the knack of making them the way I used to. The gluten makes a difference in the consistency and flavor of the biscuits. Gluten free biscuits, without yeast, tend to be slightly tougher and smaller. They are okay, and can still be eaten with gravy made from the same flour mixture.
