Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups high quality gluten free flour we always use Cup4Cup
1 T baking powder
½ T sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup cold unsalted butter cut into 10 pieces
⅔ cup milk
⅓ cup chopped green chiles use fresh or canned, be sure it's gluten free
1 cup shredded cheese - we use Monterrey Jack

Garlic Butter:

2 T unsalted butter melted
½ teaspoon gluten free garlic salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
In a large bowl, whisk together gluten free flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add cold butter and work into the flour mixture using your hands, a pastry blender, or pulsing in a blender/food processor. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
Stir in milk, green chiles, and cheese just until combined. The dough should be sticky.
Lightly dust a working surface (we like to use a baking mat) with about ½ T gluten free flour and scoop the dough onto it. Sprinkle another ½-1 T of gluten free flour over the dough so that it's workable. Don't work the flour into the dough, it's just to keep your hands from getting too sticky :)
Divide the dough into four portions and stack them onto each other, then pat down to about 1" high. Stacking the portions of dough will help create those beautiful layers we all love in biscuits!
Cut the biscuits using a biscuit cutter. Press straight down, don't twist the cutter as that will hinder rising.
Set the biscuits onto a baking sheet and gently brush with the garlic butter. You should have some remaining, which you will use later.
Bake for 10-14 minutes, until biscuits are a light golden brown and done inside. Brush with remaining garlic butter and serve!

Notes

Better Batter and Cup4Cup flours work the best with this recipe.
