Servings8

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum included)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for dairy-free option)
2 large eggs
Optional
1 tablespoon milk or dairy-free milk (for brushing tops)

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter still visible.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives evenly throughout the flour and butter mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yogurt-egg mixture. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon just until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
Lightly flour your work surface with gluten-free flour and turn out the dough carefully. Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on a piece of parchment paper.
Brush the tops lightly with milk or dairy-free milk if desired for a golden finish.
Place the parchment with biscuits into the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are golden and the biscuits have risen and feel springy to the touch.
Remove biscuits from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm as a savory snack, with butter, or alongside your favorite soups and salads.

Storage
