Cheddar Bay Biscuits (Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free)

how to make gluten-free and dairy-free cheddar bay biscuits

These gluten-free and dairy-free Cheddar Bay Biscuits are soft, fluffy, cheesy, uber savory and go perfectly with your favorite soup! I would’ve never thought a palatable gluten-free and dairy-free version of Cheddar Bay Biscuits could exist. However, this recipe encapsulates the same level of cheesiness, buttery-ness, savoriness, and addicting-ness that the regular recipes entail. All of my non-gluten-and-dairy-intolerant roommates gave the thumbs up and thought the biscuits tasted like fried chicken– which I’ll take as win. These gluten-free dairy-free cheddar bay biscuits are easy to make, even for the inexperienced baker, and are ready to devour in just thirty minutes!

FAQS:

Which dairy-free cheddar cheese works best in these cheddar bay biscuits?

I wholeheartedly admit that dairy-free cheese as a food group is often hit or miss; more often a miss than a hit. I have found that Violife’s dairy-free cheddar cheese shreds are pretty good for dairy-free cheese. It’s not cheddar cheese but it performs well and emulates cheddar cheese better than other(This is NOT sponsored). Above all, use your favorite dairy-free cheddar!

Do I have to use Old Bay Seasoning?

Nope! I recently went on a trip and could not get my hands on the signature Old Bay spice blend and opted for cajun seasoning which worked just fine!

Which dairy-free butter works best?

I used Earth Balance (not sponsored) in this recipe and t gave the biscuits a perfect buttery flavor(you couldn’t even tell they were dairy-free). However, if Earth Balance isn’t available, I use Miyoko’s cultured vegan butter (not sponsored) just as often and it works just as well!

I’m not dairy-free, can I use regular milk, butter, and cheese?

You most definitely can make these biscuits with dairy-based ingredients! I made these for my boyfriend and his roommates using 2% milk, butter, and regular cheddar and they loved them! So, use whatever you got!

  • Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a spoon or rubber spatula to gently fold just until combined. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl for remaining dry bits.
  • Using a spoon, dollop the dough into six portions onto the lined baking sheet.
