Bite-size Buttermilk Biscuits
Biscuits are a more traditional Southern food and are often served with gravy.
Being drier in texture than regular dinner rolls, they absorb sauces and gravy well.
These goat cheese dill mini biscuits have a wonderful balance between moist interior and the flaky exterior people love about a good biscuit!
The tangy flavors of the goat cheese dill mini biscuits taste like spring. A spring meal should be light and flavor-packed as we exit the comfort food season.
Instead of making full size biscuits the dainty square biscuits a mere 1 inch by 1 inch in size.
A bit more than a bite, large enough to convey the tang of the goat cheese and signature dill but not enough to occupy too much room in one’s stomach!
Of course seconds and thirds are certainly allowed and encouraged!
Recipe Ingredients Notes
All Purpose Flour. Regular or gluten-free measure for measure flour blend can be used.
The gluten-free version of all our recipes are tested with Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free 1-to-1 Baking Flour.
Baking Powder and Baking Soda. This dynamic duo help with rising and the perfect biscuit texture.
Granulated Sugar. Just a pinch creates a flavor contrast without making the biscuits taste truly sweet.
Kosher salt. Any salt will work but kosher salt is our favorite. It tastes less salty than iodized salt and mixes will due to the flake size.
Black pepper. Use freshly ground if possible.
Unsalted Butter. This gives the buttermilk biscuits a wonderful buttery flavor and flakey texture.
Goat cheese. You’ll use crumbled goat cheese. You can hand crumble a log of goat cheese or buy crumbles to save some time.
Fresh dill. Available in the produce section of the grocery store. Fresh dill adds a springy flavor.
Buttermilk. They key ingredient for making classic biscuits.

Melissa says
I love dill but rarely cook with it. Your gluten free arsenal is really outstanding and light enough for getting back into shape.
Colleen Lanin says
Oh yum! I love the flavors in your biscuits. I think these would be an excellent pairing with almost anything.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
This is the fanciest gluten free recipe I’ve seen, to date. I love all the flavors in this one. Thanks!
robin rue says
These biscuits sounds ah-mazing. I can NOT wait to make these for our next family dinner.
Carol Kutcher says
Since you mentioned baking at a higher altitude, do you recommend any adjustments to your recipe for us lowlanders? They look scrumptious and I can’t wait to make them- on my to-do list today!
Toni Dash says
No adjustment needed! Your biscuits will probably be lighter, flakier and rise a bit more but that’s not so bad, right?! Hope you love them!
Rosey says
I like that savory dill being in there. This looks delicious.
Toni Dash says
My thoughts too Rosey! I was determined to find a way to combine the dill and goat cheese in some sort of bread to celebrate spring and Easter and these completely hit the nail on the head!
Christie - Food Done Light says
Biscuits may be my all-time favorite food. I love how light and fluffy yours look. Great flavor combination with the goat cheese and dill.
Toni Dash says
Well I’ll confess I’ve never understood the fuss over biscuits. I like the idea of them but all the biscuits I’ve had have been dry and flavorless. These on the other hand I think have the best qualities of a biscuit and added flavor of the goat cheese the dill make me love them!
Erin | The Law Student's Wife says

I hope you will Kristy and will love them too.
Brian @ A Thought For Food says
Ah yes… overeating. Seems to be how it goes. I think the key is making and eating things you wouldn’t normally make. Something special. Something decadent. Like these beautiful biscuits. 🙂
Toni Dash says
Great idea on the strategy Brian! And thank you for your kind comment on these little biscuits! I kind of love them.
