Gluten Free Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits

Gluten Free Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits

These Gluten Free Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits are so Soft and Flaky. They’re also incredibly Cheesy and are packing just the right amount of Heat from the Jalapenos.  I used pickled Jalapenos, which I thought worked perfectly. If you Prefer, you could use fresh Jalapeno Slices instead. You can also make your own Buttermilk by adding a Tbsp of Lemon Juice to regular Milk.

The best thing about these Gluten Free Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits is that they’re so quick and easy to make. They’re much easier to make than buns and they taste just as good. We had them with Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo for Dinner and then again with Omelettes and Hashbrowns fo breakfast in the morning. They went so well with both meals, that I couldn’t tell you which one I preferred.

One of the reasons that I use rice flour in most of my recipes is because its so inexpensive. You can find it for $1.00 a bag at Asian Supermarkets or in the import sections at Larger Grocery Stores. It’s also very versatile and doesn’t have a weird after taste like a lot of other gluten free flours do.

Note: Rice Flour can vary from brand to brand. I’ve found that measurements can be different depending on the brand you’re using. The Thai brand which has red writing on the bag is ground finer and can take more than the Indian rice flour that I get at Superstore. Both brands work wonderfully but there is a slight difference in the measurements, as I mentioned. Because of this, I like to add the flour a little a time until the consistency is right.
