Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cold buttermilk
  • 1 large egg

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if using), baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, and salt.
  2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and create a well in the center.
  4. Pour the buttermilk and egg into the well and gently stir just to combine until a thick and sticky dough forms.
  5. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper and place the dough on top.
  6. Lightly dust the dough with additional flour and flatten it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick using your fingers.
  7. Gently fold the dough in half, adding just enough flour if necessary to make it manageable.
  8. Fold the dough in half again.

Notes

- Ensure your butter and buttermilk are very cold for the best texture.
- Don't overmix the dough; a slightly sticky dough is key.
- For extra cheesy flavor, use a sharp cheddar and consider adding a pinch of cayenne.
