These are a favorite to eat with soups and when I don't have time to make rolls. They are quick and easy, and as a biscuit should be---Soft and buttery.

Binner, I’m so glad you posted your biscuit recipe! I love your biscuits, but I always seem to lose the copies of the recipe that you give me 🙂 Your blog is amazing by the way. I look forward to more recipes.
these are yummy biscuits! thanks for the biscuit recipe!(oh yum! i`m gonna gobble gobble gobble gobble these up!)
That seems like a lot of xanthum gum. is that number correct?
Yes. As you can see, the batch is fairly large (it makes about 20 biscuits), so you need a bunch of xanthan gum especially since the recipe includes no eggs.
There were so yummy! First biscuit in 3 years! Thanks
Hello my dear, I am very happy that with your blog I don’t have to give up all of my yummys. but i do have a question about the biscuits. How long do i bake them? couldn’t find a time. Is it 10-12 min like other biscuits?
Thanks bunches & keep up the great work. you are a God send for my mother & I.
I just updated the recipe and also added instructions on cooking time. They take about 15 minutes.
thank you my dear, I will be making them tomorrow. oh how i miss my biscuits. i make a lot of jams & jellies & they are perfect on a biscuit. God bless & have a happy day.
I have tried many of your recipes and I thank you so much for your creativity and diligent work. I would like to try this biscuit recipe but cannot have night shades , which includes potatoes. Would I be able to substitute corn starch for the potato starch?
Thank you
Absolutely! You could also use tapioca starch.
