How to Make Gluten Free Shortcake Biscuits by Spinach Tiger

On my way to making a biscuit-topped cobbler with some blackberries we picked at the farm,  I experimented and came up with the best gluten free shortcake biscuits recipe.

Gluten Free Shortcake Biscuits with Ginger and Lemon Zest.

Why didn’t anyone tell me what a great combination this could be. Ginger and lemon, when paired with any kind of berries, just make the whole dish taste better.

I also accidentally learned something about gluten free biscuits.

Unlike my southern fluffy biscuit recipe a post that has gone viral, it’s better to bake them apart instead of touching. Before I put the biscuit dough on top of the blackberries (a recipe that’s coming this week), I baked just one to see how it would taste. That just one became a new recipe for gluten free shortcake biscuits.

It’s has a nice crispiness to it on the outside and is soft on the inside, yet stable enough to hold fruit, milk, whipped cream, ice cream, whichever way you prefer your shortcake.  It’s also good just by itself.

Lemon Ginger Gluten Free Shortcake Biscuits

If you’re looking for non-gluten free shortcake biscuits made with all-purpose flour, you can use the recipe I developed here. Just add in one tablespoon of freshly-grated ginger and one teaspoon of lemon zest.

This gluten free shortcake biscuits can be placed on fresh fruit and baked as a biscuit cobbler.

    Pat on the back for you. These biscuits will also go viral. There are so many people who have problems with gluten, this will be a real treat for them. I’m going to try the ones with the regular flour. Your lemon pancakes with the blueberry compote look fantastic. I can see me using some of our blueberries for that. Have a great evening!
