Expert tips for the Best Pillsbury Gluten Free Biscuits

1. To avoid overly done biscuits, start checking them at the minimum baking time. Note that a minute can leave a great difference; thus, monitor the cooking after every minute from 15 minutes.
2. Once the biscuits are fully cooked in the oven, place them on a cooling rack. Leaving them on the baking sheet for far too long may cause them to harden or stick on it. You can use a spatula to hold them to avoid being burnt.
3. To tell if the biscuits are cooked, they should be firm and slightly browned. There should also be no imprint formed once you touch lightly with a finger.
