If you’re a fan of seafood I’m sure you’ve been to Red Lobster a time or two. Those garlic biscuits … for the love of all that’s holy, those things are good. Or, at least I remember them that way. And, sometimes memory’s all I got.
Gluten-free for almost five years now, I haven’t had those buttery pillows of delight in a long, long time but I don’t need them anymore because I have these.
These simple drop biscuits can be made in a jiffy. If you make up the dry part of the mix and store it in a mason jar it’s even easier!
Use the highest quality ingredients you can afford because ingredient quality makes all the difference.
A couple notes:
1) I use America’s Test Kitchen gluten-free flour recipe or Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free flour.
2) I use sharp cheddar cheese but you can use your favorite cheddar.

- 1 ½ tsp. baking powder

- Prepare parchment or silpat-lined pan.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt and sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
- Add melted butter to soured milk and stir to combine. Butter will float to the top and separate. This is okay.

- Stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
- Drop by large spoonful onto pan, dividing into 12 biscuits.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
