Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend

Wet Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (chilled and grated)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (or other semi-hard cheese, grated)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour blend, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  2. Add the shredded butter and cheese; stir to coat cheese in the dry ingredients.

  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Baking

  2. Divide the dough and roll it out to 1/4-inch thick, sprinkling with flour as needed.
  3. Cut into squares and place on baking sheets.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Let cool before storing.
