Gluten Free Bisquick

I baked biscuits from the Bisquick gluten-free mix yesterday, and have to say I'm not too excited. They were ok, but not really biscuit like. My dear spouse, who is so tolerant of trying my gluten free baking attempts, ate one, with lots of honey on it, but declined a second one. I'm not sure what the mix needs, but I doubt I'll buy it again. :(

Another drawback is the size of the box for the price. The box will make 1 and a half batches of biscuits. Now, that's just silly, and the cost is sooo much more than the regular stuff. I sent the manufacturer an email last night about this. Maybe they will improve the situation, I don't know.

So now I need a good gluten free biscuit recipe. Anyone?

Peace, Beth.

Have you tried Pamela's baking mix? I like that one. I also was not real thrilled with the Bisquick. Using their recipe with eggs just didn't do it for me. All I could taste was the egg.

I made the biscuits with butter instead of shortening and they were great. DH also loved them and I had plenty left over to freeze. Next time I'll make half a batch.

I wonder if you could use egg whites instead of whole eggs to cut down on the egginess.

I agree about the box being so small and the price so high. I was expecting a gluten-free "real" Bisquick with the shortening etc. already included. By the time you add your own eggs and shortening, you have some pricey carbs.

Made them with butter also and they were great. So sad that they are made in Canada, but NOT sold in Canada.

I tried to reduce the batch size to make just 1-2 biscuits but that is definitely a no-no. I am gun shy to even attempt the regular way. I just eyeballed the ingredients and it did not taste eggy but was hard, dry, and powdery. I have had some gluten-free items but this was WAY underwhelming. I too ate mine with some butter and honey.

I have not tried to make gluten-free Bisquick biscuits, but I have noticed that many gluten-free baking recipes in general do not do well when you increase or decrease the number of servings. I think it has something to do with gluten free recipes depending more on the weight of the flours rather than the volume. If you can't get Pamela's, you might try again and follow the recipe as written on the box. You can always freeze the biscuits if they turn out good but there are just too many.

I made Biscuits again last night. I halve the batch as I am the only one here to eat them. I use a combo of coconut shortening and butter and used just the egg white of 1 egg and they turned out well without the 'eggy' flavor they had the first time. Thanks for the suggestion to just use the whites.

This is the reply <_< I received from General Mills:

"Thank you for contacting General Mills regarding product prices. We are committed to providing products of superior quality and value. There are a number of factors that affect the price of food products. These factors include ingredients, manufacturing, packaging, transportation, advertising and promotions as well as retailer costs. As these costs continue to rise, they are reflected in the price of the product.

In addition, as a manufacturer we are unable to dictate retail prices. To do so would violate anti-trust laws. Many marketing considerations determine the retailer

I love the gluten-free Bisquick and definitely think the biscuits are fantastic....so does my gluten consuming boyfriend. We just made them this week with cheddar cheese and some garlic! My favorite biscuits however are 123 Gluten Free mix but they are SO difficult to make!

I found this today at the QFC in Bothell. I bought two boxes but am skeptical because of the seemingly high sugar content. So far all of the gluten-free biscuit mixes I have tried have been overly sweet. Also because the the required amount of eggs. I can't do eggs. We'll see.

I was Underwhelmed as well. I'll finish this box and then just use the Pamela's mix. I did use it to make that cheeseburger pie and that came out pretty good...but I only used two eggs as I thought what they recommended would turn out too eggy. I was thinking that I would change it and use the recommended eggs, use sausage instead of hamburger, and serve it for breakfast some morning where eggy would be considered a good thing . . . but for biscuits? nope.

Making your own biscuit mix is easy, and probably cheaper:

BC uses mainly rice flour, so any flour mix that's rice based would probably be similar.

We love the Betty Crocker gluten free Bisquik in our house. I've got nothing but good to say about it. We LOVE the pancake and waffles! :wub: I have made the shortcakes and they were good too. I recently make russian tea cakes and with a little tweaking from some suggestions from here I believe they will be even better and they were good just crumbled. We don't seem to like the main dishes that take alot of eggs, but that is a personal preference since I have two in my house that don't care much for eggs.

I made Fruit Swirl Coffee Cake (using gluten-free Bisquick and apple pie filling) and I thought it turned out pretty good. Would be good for a Christmas morning breakfast.

That was when I was desperate after I threw out a two-layer chocolate cake made from a recipe in The Gluten-Free Kitchen.

We love it too. I don't have to drive 45 min. to get it. It's at the regular grocery store. It makes great pizza crust. We have pizza for lunch every Sat. now. :)

It also makes great pie crust.

Sorry about your chocolate cake? Was it just gross or what?

What brand of fruit filling did you use? I'd like to try this.

The cake (if you can call it that) was a gummy mess. When I was making it, I questioned the amount of guar gum (2-1/2 tsp) which sounded like a lot to me. Roda also made a yellow cake from that cookbook the same day and hers went straight into the trash, too. Posted under the "Spent All Day In The Kitchen" tread.

I actually used the Food Lion brand of apple pie filling, which is thickened with corn starch. I think a lot of pie fillings would be safe...just make sure you read the label. I would have used cherry pie filling but I have a friend who doesn't care for it so I settled on apple.

      Airborne Gluten?

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum. Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains...

      Rectal pain

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      Rectal pain

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum.    Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains.    HOWEVER, I realized something recently- the last time I got glutened and the most recent time I got glutened, I truly never ate anything with gluten in it. But i did breathe it in.    The first time was a feed barrel for my uncle’s chickens- all of the dust came right up, and most of what was in there was wheat/grains. The second time was after opening a pet food bag and accidentally getting a huge whiff of it.    When this happens, I tend to have more neurological symptoms- specifically involuntary muscle spasms/jerks everywhere. It also seems to cause migraines and anxiety as well. Sometimes, with more airborne exposure, I get GI symptoms, but not every time.    My doctor says he’s never heard of it being an airborne problem, but also said he isn’t well versed in celiac specifics. I don’t have the money for a personal dietician, so I’m doing the best I can.    is there anyone else who has experienced this, or gets similar neurological symptoms?

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.
