Here are some tips for making the best 4 ingredient gluten free bisquick biscuits ever:
Tip 1 – Get the oven heated up first
Because these biscuits are quick and easy to make, the odds are that the biscuits will be ready before your oven is. Start getting the oven heated up asap so it is ready and waiting for these biscuits.
Tip 2 – Use cold butter and cold milk
Biscuit recipes are not the norm when it comes to temperature of ingredients in baking. Usually room temperature is the way to go so the resulting batter is light and fluffy. But biscuit batter is different. It should be more dough like and having cold butter and milk helps keep the butter from melting before the biscuit even hits the oven.

Tip 3 – No need for a rolling pin
Reason number 563 why I love this recipe…no need for rolling out the dough! Once the dough is fully combined, it should be easy to work with. Just flop it on your work surface and pat it out into a circle. The dough should be about 1 inch thick. And then just cut with a biscuit cutter.
Tip 4 – Work quickly
Warm butter spells disaster for biscuits. So working quickly with the dough is essential. Get the butter and milk mixed in and get those biscuits into the oven. Otherwise they start to melt and spread and that is not a good biscuit.
Tip 5 – Don’t double the recipe, make two batches
I’m being bold here, but you will probably want 10 biscuits and not just 5. Although it may seem like a time saver to just double the recipe, don’t.
Just use 2 bowls and make 2 batches, side by side.
It’s all about consistency!

Was excited to try this recipe. The biscuits didn't rise much and couldn't cut them in half to enjoy two at one time. They were buttery and flaky. Must not have worked fast enough. Will try them again.
