Description

A recipe for savory, cheesy biscuits made without gluten.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Pour in the cold buttermilk and mix just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between biscuits.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
  8. While the biscuits bake, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and dried parsley.
  9. As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the tops generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  10. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a gluten free flour blend that already contains xanthan gum for best results.
  • Keep the buttermilk and butter very cold for tender biscuits.
  • You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture for a little heat.
