About
I have a deep and abiding love for all baked goods. Bread is my favorite food group—which makes being gluten-free quite the challenge. For anyone who has been gluten-free for longer than six years, you remember the taste of cardboard and feel in your bones what you were missing out on.
These biscuits are delicious, slightly reminiscent of Red Lobster’s cheesy biscuits, and SO easy to make.
I’ve made about 20 different versions of biscuits over the last three years. My odyssey began because my then-boyfriend (now husband) refused to eat gluten in front of me. He insisted it was unacceptable that I live my life without bread, and that we had to figure this out—for my sake.
Meanwhile, I had pretty much given up on baking, being the type of person who chose popcorn for dinner because it took less time. Meeting my husband re-ignited my joy for cooking, because it became something I got to share with him.
Along the way, over these last three years, I’ve meant to make dinner rolls and ended up with biscuits, tried to make biscuits and ended up with pita bread, and burned countless batches of what could only loosely be called biscuits (so much so that our wedding song was “Little Moments” by Brad Paisley).
Josh also tried his hand at baking for me on a few at-home date nights and has successfully prepared what is now one of our favorite versions of a biscuit (sans cheese)—even though it was originally meant to be a dinner roll.
This is one of my go-to recipes because it’s simple, uses ingredients I pretty much always have on hand, and takes only 25 minutes to prepare.
Also. Cheese.
Give it a shot—just remember to check the oven often!
Best Gluten Free Cheesy Bay Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups of gluten free flour King Arthurs Blend or any blend you prefer
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of kosher Salt If you have table salt that will also work, I just prefer a heavier rough grain salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme
- 1 ½ cups of shredded asiago
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon of melted butter Use this to brush the biscuits with before serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and chopped thyme.
- Add the cheese: Stir in the shredded Asiago cheese until it’s evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
- Pour in the cream: Add the heavy cream and gently stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix—it’s okay if the dough is a bit shaggy.
- Shape the biscuits: Scoop about ¼ cup of dough for each biscuit and drop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Brush with butter: Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor and shine.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
