Gluten Free Sprite Biscuits
There are times when the sprite biscuits or crazy biscuits have to be prepared. It doesn’t have to be for breakfast or brunch. They are often made for those who have their feet under my table for lunch or dinner. But, when there are those who have difficulty with processing gluten here? Then a recipe for gluten free sprite biscuits had to be created.
Until I began to understand the differences of baking with the different gluten free flours and mixes, I realized that just switching out the same amount of flour or mix as an original recipe didn’t quite work.
So, making a great gluten free sprite biscuit was the goal.
Since the recipe only has four ingredients and one of them, Bisquick, finding a gluten free one was easy.
Same amount of sour cream was added to the Bisquick.
Here’s where I needed to pay close attention.
If you know what the dough should look like with a regular mix, then watch closely when you add in the sprite until the dough appears to be the same consistency as with the original mix. The dough is more of a batter that still scoops and holds it’s shape after using an ice cream scoop. You can see the consistency in the photo in the recipe care.
That meant adding TWICE the amount of sprite.
Their consistency and light and fluffy texture were perfect. But, what I found? Because of the additional amount of sprite, they were a bit sweeter. My taste tester husband LOVED the flavor and I was told NOT to change it.
Although I haven’t tried it yet, if you want to use half seltzer water and half sprite, you would still get the lift and activation from the carbonation and less sweetness to this version.
Goal achieved.
Those who have gluten sensitivity and those who had no problem with gluten inhaled them. It was wonderful to see that they were loved and enjoyed. Heart happy moment.
So, won’t you just print this one off or pin it and save it to a file for those with gluten sensitivity who have their feet under your table?
Breathe a sigh of relief that YES! You can serve everyone biscuits with jam or gravy or just by themselves. A wonderful feeling.
Here’s the recipe, friends.

Notes
If you need more gluten free recipes, here are a few of my favorites:
- gluten free chicken and dumplings
- gluten free oatmeal cookies
- gluten free banana bread
- gluten free cornbread muffin
And if you need some jam to serve with these biscuits? I’m your best friend.
As more and more friends and family have begun to have more food allergies, I love being able to provide a great dining experience with familiar foods that help provide normalcy at the table.
Once you play with regular recipes and adapt to make them taste and serve the same, very often guests won’t be able to tell the difference. It just becomes great food enjoyed each and every time.
Hope this helps with those you may be serving.
Here’s my favorite tools to bake these.
Meanwhile, my husband is happy, smiling, and has a new option for biscuits. I’ll take that.
