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.
Is millet flour healthy?
Millet flour has many healthy benefits. It is a great source of calcium, iron and zinc. It is a gluten free grain that is a good source of fiber and protein.
Be sure when you purchase your millet flour that it has the gluten free label. Although millet itself is gluten free you need to be sure it was processed in a gluten free facility.
Can millet flour be used for baking?
Yes! It's fantastic for sweet or savory baking. Millet flour has a mild, nutty flavor. I prefer the Arrowhead Millet Flour that is organic and certified gluten free. I've found the best price for the Arrowhead Millet Flour is through Thrive Market.
What is millet flour made from?
Millet flour is made from grinding millet seeds into a powder. It is important to note that millet flour is gluten free, but it a grain. If you are on a grain-free diet millet flour won't work for you. But, if you are simply gluten free, then this flour is a great alternative.

Gluten Free Millet Drop Biscuits
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 12 biscuits 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
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!
Ingredients
3 cups Millet Flour
3 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Xanthan Gum
½ tsp. Sea Salt
6 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
½ cup Buttermilk, at room temperature
3 large Eggs, at room temperature
2 Tbsp. Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl stir together the millet flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthum gum and sea salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of your 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.
Bake for 10-18 minutes. The biscuits will be golden brown when done.
I like to serve the biscuits immediately while they are still warm.
Notes
To get your buttermilk to room temp place it in a glass microwave safe container and heat for 10-20 seconds.
To get your eggs to room temp place them in a bowl of warm tap water for 1-2 minutes.

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

Thank you Kris! I'm so glad you are enjoying this recipe. I created this recipe with my mom's drop biscuits in mind that she made us growing up. I bet they are amazing with your homemade jam! ~Elaine
