Gluten Free Cheddar Bay Biscuits

These drop biscuits are everything you want from a cheesy, garlicky biscuit — golden on the outside, tender and pull-apart soft on the inside, loaded with sharp cheddar and finished with a glossy herb butter that smells absolutely incredible. A gluten free flour blend swaps in seamlessly here, so there's no compromise on texture or flavor, just the same coarse, buttery crumb you'd expect from a classic biscuit. Cold butter worked into the dough is the real secret — those little pea-sized pieces create pockets of steam in the oven that lift and fluff each biscuit beautifully. The buttermilk brings a subtle tang that balances all that rich cheese, and the optional pinch of cayenne adds just enough warmth to keep things interesting. Because this is a drop biscuit, there's no rolling or cutting involved — you scoop, bake, and brush on the garlic parsley butter the moment they come out of the oven. The recipe makes 10 biscuits, which means there's plenty to go around at the dinner table — though don't count on many leftovers. Whether you're serving them alongside soup, a big salad, or just eating one straight off the pan, these are the kind of biscuits that make people ask for the recipe immediately.
