Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp solid ghee or coconut oil (cold, cubed)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (or slightly more as needed)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry cutter or fork
  • 2½-inch biscuit cutter (yields 8 biscuits)
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat for easy cleanup and reuse (bonus: perfect for RV kitchens!)
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

For Baking (Oven Method)
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  3. Cut in cold ghee or coconut oil until crumbly — like coarse sand that smells way better.
  4. Stir in coconut milk and apple cider vinegar just until a dough forms. Do not overmix (the biscuits will revolt).
  5. Pat out dough into a square about ¾-inch thick. Cut into rounds with your biscuit cutter.
  6. Place biscuits on baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
  7. Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden and lightly crisp on the edges.
  8. Cool slightly on a rack before serving warm with ghee, honey, or your favorite gravy.
For Skillet Option (Pan-Fried Drop Biscuits)
  1. Heat cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat with a thin layer of ghee.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of dough directly into skillet and flatten slightly.
  3. Cook 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  4. Transfer to cooling rack and resist the urge to eat all eight.
For Air Fryer Option (Because You Can)
  1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line basket with parchment and arrange biscuits so they don’t touch.
  3. Air fry 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through if needed.
