Ingredients
- 6 ounces (1 1/2 cups) white rice flour
- 2.5 ounces (1/2 cup) sweet rice flour
- 2 ounces (1/2 cup) tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 6 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 ounces (1 cup) grated Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In bowl of food processor, pulse together white rice flour, sweet rice flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. (Don't have a food processor? Use a medium bowl and whisk ingredients together.) Add shortening and butter.
- Cut shortening and butter into dry ingredients by pulsing food processor a few times. Shortening and butter pieces should be about the size of a small peas. (If doing this by hand, cut shortening and butter into the dry ingredients with either a pastry cutter or by rubbing the fats in with your hands.)
- Add milk and cheese and pulse until dough forms. (Stir to combine if doing this by hand.)
- As soon as dough comes together, stop the food processor.
- Drop dough, about 1/4 cup each, onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
