Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk (or milk alternative with 1 teaspoon of vinegar)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Slowly pour the buttermilk into the mixture, stirring gently until a thick dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop 8 evenly sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
While the biscuits are baking, combine the melted butter and garlic powder for the topping in a small bowl.
Once the biscuits are out of the oven, brush the garlic butter generously over the tops of each biscuit.
Optionally, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
Serve warm and enjoy these delicious gluten-free cheddar bay biscuits!
