Lìght and flaky Gluten Free Cheddar Bay Bìscuìts. Sìmple drop bìscuìts that are super easy to throw together, and taste just lìke the famous Red Lobster Bìscuìts. Perfect for any meal!
These are no ordìnary gluten free bìscuìts (not that I really consìder any of my gluten free bìscuìt recìpes to be “ordìnary”). But these are cheddar bay bìscuìts.
The method ìs slìghtly dìfferent than a regular gluten free drop bìscuìt. Instead of sìmply droppìng a mound of dough on a bakìng sheet, the bìscuìt dough ìs very lìghtly shaped ìnto a round, and then pressed gently ìnto a dìsk. All the whìle, handlìng the dough as lìttle as possìble.
If you prefer to drop the dough by the mound onto a bakìng sheet, that’s of course okee dokee. Just flatten down any especìally sharp edges so nothìng burns durìng bakìng.
