I was pleasantly surprised to see the new Gluten-free Bisquick arrive on my front porch the other day. Live Gluten Freely sent me out the sample to review (I received this item as a complimentary sample). There are many recipes on the box and the Live Gluten Freely/Bisquick website, but I had scones on the brain. Not only did I have scones on the brain, but I had blueberries in my fridge that I needed to use before they went bad. At least my pants weren’t on the ground. 
(If you didn’t watch American Idol this year, you have no clue what that meant and I apologize. Now on with our scheduled programming.)
Gluten-free Bisquick is slightly different from “normal” Bisquick. There is a FAQ page to help with any questions or issues you may be having. There is no shortening in the Gluten-Free Bisquick, as there is in the “normal” Bisquick. Heidi, from Adventures of a Gluten-Free Mom, took matters into her own hands and made her own GF Bisquick using the store bought Gluten-Free Bisquick and then adding shortening and storing that way. Now she can use her GF Bisquick mix cup for cup in all of her old favorite recipes. The ingredients for the Gluten-Free Bisquick are:
Rice Flour, Sugar, Leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), Modified Potato Starch, Salt, Xanthan Gum

Now, the good stuff. Blueberry Scones. I had never had a scone until last fall when I made pumpkin raisin scones and I was quickly addicted. Of course it didn’t hurt that one of my favorite ingredients was one of the star ingredients – pumpkin. 
Blueberries are right up there, too, so I was on the hunt for a good recipe. I happened upon this recipe from Stonyfield and modified it to fit my needs.
Gluten-free Blueberry Scones
2 cups of Gluten-Free Bisquick
1 1/4 cups of Greek plain yogurt (I used Yoplait)
1 cup blueberries (recipe recommends frozen, but I used fresh; they get a little squished, but they are still yummy)
Glaze:
3 TBSP butter, melted
2 TBSP Sugar in the Raw
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Check to make sure the oven is at proper temperature before baking the scones.
2. Measure out GF Bisquick into a large bowl. Add yogurt and blueberries.
3. Mix with a fork. Dough will be sticky, but should turn coarse.
4. Lightly flour a cutting board with a little GF Bisquick; turn dough onto the board and lightly knead 5 – 6 times.
5. Form the dough into a circle about 10 inches around.
6. For glaze – spread butter over the top & sides and sprinkle sugar on top. (I didn’t use the butter, I just sprinkled the sugar on & patted down)
7. Cut circle into 12 wedges and place on a non-stick cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Leave about an inch in between pieces.
8. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden. Do not over bake.
So, the verdict? These rocked!!! WOW!!! The texture is perfect! These have virtually no fat, unless you add the butter on top, and still have less than 4g/fat per scone then. If you notice, I did not add any sugar to this recipe. The Stonyfield recipe does call for a 1/4 cup of sugar, but since the GF Bisquick contains sugar, I did not feel the need to add it. However, if you like a sweeter scone, you may want to consider adding that 1/4 cup of sugar in. Also, I halved the recipe so that I would have some GF Bisquick left to make something else with.
I can’t wait to make pancakes, waffles or biscuits with the rest of my Bisquick! Have you tried the new Gluten-Free Bisquick?

The scone looks terrific! I'll have to tell Wubba. He'll be so excited. =) Thanks for the great review, Kim.

Thanks, Julie!
I've been trying to find this stuff for a few weeks. Wrote the company. I don't think it's near me yet, but I can't wait to try it. Once again, thanks for the tip.
You can find it on amazon.com

I just found the GF Bisquick at our Wal-Mart Super Center today! I am so excited! Can't hardly wait to try it.

We just tried a different biscuit mix and it was horrible!!! From the sound of it I think these will be better. Haven't found them yet but still looking in Idaho.
Where can I purchase this product, would really love to try it
Ohh…these sound good…and I happen to have all the ingredients on hand. All of which need to be used up before I move this weekend. I think I will make these later today!
Thanks Anne! I would love to hear how adding the flax turns out!
Rickie – It can be found in stores across the country, however, it may not be available in all stores yet.
I am in heaven!!! I made GF Biscuits with the GF Bisquick. First wonderful biscuits I have had in over 6 years!!
I found some yesterday and will use it Friday when I make pizza. I also have a hankering for biscuits. When will it come in a larger sized box? I have to feed a pretty large family (mixed–some are GF, some are not) and it is easier on me to mix one batch of biscuits/pizza crust/pancakes/whatever than do a GF and a regular–and try to avoid Xcon.
I got a box of the GF Bisquick, and I tried the pizza crust recipe tonight. I admit the scone recipe looks like it turned out great and will be trying it soon, but I will go back to my fave Chebe for pizza crust. The Bisquick recipe called for Italian seasoning, which I'm out of, so I used Mrs.Dash Table Blend instead. The taste was great! And the crust gets nice and crispy, but it has a crumbly, mealy mouth feel. I think it works fine, but I prefer Chebe. I look forward to trying the scones and chicken and dumplings…which is comfort food I have been missing for years!
[...] get my Latte, which is rarely, I go without the scone. But Gluten-Free is Life posted a recipe for Gluten-Free Blueberry Scones made from Gluten Free Bisquick, and I decided I had to give it a try.  It took two tries, but here [...]
My 7 year old thought she was the cat's meow on vacation when EVERYONE in the family raved about "her" pancakes – made with the new GF Bisquick!
Julie – That is so cool!!
I live in NJ and have been searching to find Gluten Free Bisquick but have not been able to find it anywhere. I have requested it at my local ShopRite store but that was over a month ago and still nothing. Anyone know if you can order it online or what stores might be carrying it?
Erick,
I don't know of any store that is selling it online yet. I am sorry. If I find out about one, I will be sure to let you know.
Kim
Well, tried the pizza. Turned out so well and the fact that Bisquick is so versatile, I pretty much am buying it for 9/10 my baking needs. My kids just gobbled it up as they were going through severe pizza withdrawals. I made the crust a bit too thick, though (doubled the recipe). The next week I found it in another store $2 cheaper than store #1. So, that is where I'm buying it from now on. And not making the crust so thick.
PS. Now I'm wanting biscuits and gravy, but I think pancakes are next.
Laura,
That is great!!
Kim,
Can you share the pumpkin and raisin scone recipe? Still can not find GF Bisquick in WV. Still looking to purchase online!! No luck.

Kim,
Thanks for the recipe. I have found GF Bisquick at the Walmart Stores in WV. YEA!!!!
You can purchase this on http://www.amazon.com. I haven't tried it yet, but can't wait to get it!!!
You mentioned in your article about a friend who added shortening to the gluten-free mix so she could use it the same way as regular Bisquick. What was the ratio for that? Thanks.
just had pancakes made from the Gluten free Bisquick, im still grinning. I have craved pancakes that were good for over 4 years now.
Thanks for the heads up about GF Bisquick! I was a huge fan of Bisquick pancakes and biscuits as a kid, before I was diagnosed as gluten intolerant. I'd like to try the scone recipe but will have to modify it because of the dairy. Many people who are gluten intolerant are lactose intolerant as well…it would be awesome if you posted recipes that accommodate both!
[...] at Gluten Free Is Life made delicious-looking Blueberry Scones with the Bisquick, yogurt and [...]
Will you be publishing a receipe book for Bisquick Gluten Free as you have for regular Bisquick?
To Amy,
Lactose intolerance is no fun… maybe this like will help you, I am a happy convert.
This coconut milk is in a milk carton and used exactly like cow's milk.

With this and Bisquick gluten free … life is looking up.
I was happy to learn about this, but then, I read the ingredients and it has sugar in it, so I won't be buying it. I don't eat sugar.
Too bad….. so far, I'm satisfied with Bob's Red Mill gluten free products.
Today I made pancakes with the gluten free Bisquick. I used soy milk ("original" flavor) and added a little double strength vanilla. They were fantastic and my family and guests gobbled them up! I will make them again and try other recipes as well.
Has anyone tried the classic Bisquick cranberry bread recipe using the new Gluten-free? I am wondering if I should add anything, or simply substitute it, cup for cup, as is.
I've made these twice, once with blueberries, once with raspberries, both using frozen fruit. I LOVE these things. Really, really delicious. Nice chewy texture. Great visual presentation. Greek yogurt brings a sour bite. Yummy.
I will say, the GF Bisquick boxes have a bit more flour than the recipe calls for, and the yogurt I purchased is in a 2-cup container. I just used the whole Bisquick Box (except for a little bit to flour the cutting board) and the whole 16 oz container of yogurt and 1 1/2 cups of frozen fruit — a 'fat' batch. These proportions seem fine and don't leave leftover yogurt or Bisquick around.
Thanks to whomever posted these and the photo. A great recipe.
So glad you enjoyed!
I found it at our local Kroger and I live in a small town!! So excited and getting ready to try it.
You can order gf bisquik from Amazon.
These look so yummy, guess what I'm making tonight
These look great, I am going to make these tonight
Was told that there is a gluten free bisquick. Tried it and really like it. Thank you.
I have been using GF Bisquick for a few months and loving the biscuits, gravy and pizzas. I knew there had to be a way to use this to make cakes but couldn't find a recipe. Finally, I looked for a GF Bisquick Yellow cake recipe and found it tonight. My husband thought he was in heaven. He said it wasn't just good, it was great! Now I'm looking for more recipes.
Great news , Elizabeth!
Bisquick GF is pretty good, but the texture of the bisquits is odd. I added a little salt, oats and melted butter and it was terrific. Sorry, I don't know the amounts, although I measured the ingredients called for on the mix, I don't measure my ingredients. I also add oats and a little extra butter to the Betty Crocker GF Cookie Mix but I only add nuts to the wonderful Betty Crocker GF Brownie Mix (may just be the best brownies we have ever eaten!
Absolutely Wonderful as a breading (mixed with your own spices) for chicken nuggets or chicken breast tenders in a glass baking dish in the oven! Coat chicken pieces in beaten egg first and then shake in ziploc bag with your GF Bisquick breading mix. Use olive oil to coat the bottom of the baking dish and set oven at 350 F. We have no leftovers in my house when I make these! The chicken turns out tender and moist and the cooked breading is NOT stiff, gritty, and crumbly. This gluten free mix is a winner! My only complaint is the need for a larger box of this baking mix to be made available on the grocery shelf.
TELL US WHERE TO BUY IT, PLEASE !!!!!!!!!
Nancy – It is in most mainstream grocery stores in the US or on the Gluten Freely website:
