Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend King Arthur Measure for Measure works the best
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend*
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk
  • cup chopped pepperoni or salami optional
  • 1 Tablespoon melted butter for topping optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a food processor combine flour, baking powder, salt, Italian seasoning and cheese. Pulse until combined.
  • Add cubed butter and process for 5 seconds, until large crumbs.
  • Add chopped pepperoni or salami, if using. Pulse another 5 seconds.
  • Dump flour mixture into a large bowl and use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold in the milk. Mix until no flour streaks remain.
  • Dough will be wet and sticky to the touch.
  • Using a large cookie scoop, scoop batter onto a greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • You can leave the biscuits as is or with wet fingers you can gently spread out each biscuit to make them larger. They don't spread much.
  • Brush the top with melted butter to get a shiny and browned top.
  • Bake on center rack at 425°F for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • These keep for 3 days at room temp or for 1 week in the refrigerator.

Notes

*To make your own Italian Seasoning, combine: 1 tablespoon each dried basil, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Add 1 ½ teaspoons rosemary, thyme and red chili flakes (more or less to taste). Finally, add ½ teaspoon garlic powder. 
Store leftovers in a zip-top baggie and use for other recipes or the next time you make these biscuits!
