Ingredients

  • 2 cups Gluten-Free Bake Mix, (500 mL)
  • 21/2 tsp baking powder (12 mL)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (2 mL)
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil (1 mL)
  • 1/4 tsp dried parsley (1 mL)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (1 mL)
  • 11/2 cups grated Mozzarella, OR (375 mL)
  • Cheddar cheese
  • 3 eggs, fork beaten
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream (125 mL)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (30 mL)

Preparation

Step 1

In medium bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix, baking powder, garlic powder, basil, parsley and salt. Stir in Mozzarella, OR Cheddar cheese. In small bowl, whisk eggs, whipping cream and olive oil. Stir into dry ingredients until moistened and well combined.

Drop batter by approximately 3 tablespoonful (45 mL) mounds onto greased cookie sheet, spaced about 1 inches (2.5 cm) apart to allow for spreading. Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and completely brown and crispy underneath. Serve warm with butter.

Helpful Hint: If using a food processor and processing all ingredients, including cheese, yield will be 14 biscuits, and the cheese is then imperceptible.

Variation: Plain Cheese Biscuits: To wet ingredients, add liquid sweetener to equal 2 tsp (10 mL) sugar and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) vanilla extract. Omit garlic, basil and dried parsley. (4.8/4.1 g carbs)

Plain Cheese Scones: Use only 2 tbsp (30 mL) whipping cream. To the wet ingredients, add liquid sweetener to equal 4 tsp (20 mL) sugar and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) vanilla extract. Omit garlic, basil and dried parsley. Remember to add the salt. Process cheese into batter. Nuke scones that have been refrigerated briefly and serve warm. Yield: 12 scones. (4.3 g carbs)


Red Lobster®-like Biscuits: Use Cheddar cheese instead. Garlic Butter: In small bowl, combine 1/4 cup (60 mL) melted butter and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) garlic powder or granulated garlic (slightly coarser). Brush over tops of baked, hot biscuits and serve immediately. (4.8/4.1 g carbs)
