Calories: 190kcal
- 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
- ⅓ cup chopped pepperoni or salami optional
- 1 Tablespoon melted butter for topping optional
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.
*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!
