This easy recipe for gluten free millet drop biscuits is a quick way to make homemade biscuits. They are great with jam, butter or gravy. This recipe tells you how to make the best gluten free biscuits!
I love to serve these gluten free millet drop biscuits for breakfast with jam and butter or for dinner with sausage gravy. I make six really large biscuits when I'm serving them as a meal, but they can easily be made into a dozen biscuits to serve along side a meal.
These biscuits have a dense texture. I like to eat them warm right out of the oven. They also reheat nicely to be served the next day. It's easy to make a batch to have for dinner and then have them for breakfast the next morning too.

Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl stir together the millet flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthum gum and sea salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer blend together the butter, buttermilk, eggs and honey. When these ingredients are combined add the dry ingredients. Mix until a wet dough forms.
The dough is going to be sticky. To work with the dough wet your hands first. You will want either a bowl of water to dip your hands in or to be near running water.
Form 6 large or 12 regular sized biscuits and drop onto the lined baking sheet. The biscuits will spread some, so leave a bit of room around each.
Bake for 10-18 minutes. The biscuits will be golden brown when done.

This recipe is amazing! It is the closest gluten-free biscuit that compares to my mom's baking soda drop biscuits! I love them as a dessert with strawberries and whipped cream and I also love them with Jam! I have made this recipe so many times and tonight I am making them to go with my homemade orange marmalade and Devonshire Cream
