Hungry for biscuits? Gluten Free Mama’s Cheddar Chive Biscuits are A-mazing with a capital A. The combination of the flaxseed and cheddar cheese make these biscuits burst with flavor. I ate 3 of them myself! You can make these without eggs if you are egg free. Roll out slightly thicker. I am thinking tomorrow, I will slice in half and add sliced turkey, hummus and red pepper for a tasty sandwich. I hope you enjoy these delightful gluten free biscuits as much as I am.

1½ cups Mama’s Almond or Coconut Blend Flour
½ cup ground golden flaxseed
