Recipe - Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

No I don't bake EVERY day but this is also a change from making a dessert recipe. I am sitting here while I make dinner. I made these and just took the first batch out and for being completely gluten free biscuits, they are GREAT! However, the recipe calls for 2cups GF flour and I ended up using almost 2 3/4 cups GF flour. My suggestion is start with the 2 cups and add 1/4cup at a time, stirring completely between each one to judge whether or not you need more. The mixture should be think, sticky and moist. You should be able to spoon it by large soup spoons onto a cookie sheet without it 1. dripping or 2. falling off the spoon. It should be sticky enough to stay ON the spoon with ease.

GF Cheese Biscuits

Ingredients

2 to 2-3/4 cups gf flour
2-1/2 teaspoons gf baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 1/2 cup finely grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup fresh chives, minced
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Whisk together 2 cups gf flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add pieces of butter and cut into dry ingredients with a pastry blender or two knives, until the largest pieces are the size of peas and the rest about the texture of cornmeal. Add finely grated cheddar cheese and mix until incorporated into flour mixture.

Add milk, beaten eggs and oil all at once. Mix with a wooden spoon until dry ingredients are well moistened. The batter should be moist and sticky, if not add extra flour 1/4cup at a time, mixing completely between each time to judge the if you need more flour or not. The batter should stick to the spoon and not fall off as you transfer it to your baking sheet. Spoon large spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing biscuits about 2 inches apart. Bake about 10-12 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Serve immediately or if you are like me, place them in a warming biscuit basket until they are all completely baked and then serve with your dinner while they are still warm.
