Gluten-Free Biscuits

Hello fellow Celiacs! Yesterday I had biscuits for the first time in over a year! I was making a big pot of beef stew, and when I was little, I used to *love* putting dumpling biscuits in my soup! Unfortunately, due to the Celiac diagnosis, I haven't had them in a while. So I went to the store determined to find a gluten free substitute, and I found Maple Grove Gluten Free Pancake and Waffle Mix. It's incredible! It's very similar to Bisquick - all you need is some butter and milk! You don't even have to form them into a ball - just drop pieces of the batter on a greased cookie sheet, bake at 450 degrees for about 8 minutes or until golden. Viola! A wonderful gluten-free biscuit. Drop in your favorite soup or eat plain. I can't wait to try out pancakes with this mix, since pancakes are one of the things that I've missed the most. It's amazing how you crave the simplest of things since going gluten-free! Hope this pointer helps those who don't eat wheat! :)

Does this brand have any msg (modified food starch) or other unwanted ingredients in it? My wife has a great recipe for making gluten free biscuits that we love. I love to eat them with honey and or jelly! We use them because our son is autistic.

There isn't any msg or modified food starch in the biscuit mix. You can find the ingredients at www.maplegrove.com and searching for the gluten-free mix (I can't copy and paste the full URL with the ingredients).

Thank you for posting this...I use Pamela's bisquit/pancake mix. It is pretty good if you use butter. My son has Celiac's and misses his bisquits too!
