Gluten-Free Cheddar Biscuits

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups white rice flour
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 2.5 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  (optional)
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup butter

  cold
• 2/3 cup half-and-half
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup minced chives

  (optional)
• 1/2 cup butter

  melted
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt

  course-ground

Instructions

• 1 In a large bowl, add the baking mix, sugar, garlic powder, and butter, and cut
  butter into the dry ingredients (just like you would for pie crust) until it
  forms pea size particles. 
• 2 In another bowl, add the half-and-half, cheddar cheese, chives, and eggs, and
  mix well until the eggs are light and fluffy and well mixed in.
• 3 Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix well until dough forms a
  ball. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and drop the biscuits (about a
  tablespoon amount) onto the parchment paper. Bake at 425 for 8 to 10 minutes, or
  until biscuits are golden brown.
• 4 While biscuits are baking, melt the 1/2 cup of butter with the coarse ground
  garlic salt, and stir well, and set aside. 
• 5 When biscuits are done baking, remove from oven and brush garlic butter on tops
  of biscuits. Garnish tops with additional shredded cheese and chopped chives.
