Dairy-Free Drop Biscuits with Bisquick Gluten Free

I'm so used to shopping at health food stores for gluten-free flour mixes, that it didn't even occur to me to check a regular supermarket for mass market g-free solutions. Bisquick's mix just appeared at my local Brooklyn store, so I had to try it.

Bisquick's done a surprisingly decent job! The ingredient list is short (rice flour, sugar, leavening, potato starch, salt, xantham gum) and much more "natural" than regular Bisquick. I made dairy-free drop biscuits with soy-free Earth Balance Buttery Sticks and Rice Dream Original Rice Milk. I followed the recipe on the box, the only exception being that I beat the egg whites separately for a little extra lift. Ener-G Egg Replacer would work, too.

The dough is too sweet for a savory application (say as a cobbler topping for chicken pot pie or even for dinner rolls) but I'd definitely use these biscuits for breakfast or as a base for a berry shortcake. Or I'd add berries, call them scones, and serve them for tea!

I'd love to hear your ideas on how to use this mix, so please post in the comments!
