Gluten-Free Cheddar Biscuits

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a the bowl of a mixer, mix all ingredients, except for the cheddar cheese, until well combined.

Add in cheese and mix until just to combine.

Scoop 6 spoonfuls batter onto baking sheet, forming each into a biscuit shape.

Bake 20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. If at 20 minutes, tops are too brown but they need a few more minutes, lay a sheet of foil over the top of the biscuits and bake for 5 minutes.

These are best served warm right out of the oven!

I have not had a "Cheddar Bay" Biscuit in YEARS! So when I came across a gluten-free mock version on Instagram, from Healthy Gluten-Free Family, I knew I had to give it a try. I know its been awhile, but I think these are VERY comparable to the real thing. Even if they are not exact, they are still flaky, buttery and tasty.

We even like to melt some butter, salt and garlic powder and brush it over the tops of the biscuits for a more garlic butter punch. Or, we add in some sliced green onions when we add in the cheddar cheese, gives it a nice pop of color and additional onion flavor. I have been playing around with maybe even trying different cheeses like a smoked cheddar or gouda, maybe even swiss. The savory biscuit base really opens so many options!
