Homemade GF "Cheddar Bay Biscuits"

I made "Cheddar Bay Biscuits" for the first time. I have wanted to make these forever! I used a combination of two recipes (the links are down below), I'll show what I combined:

Gluten-Free Sun-Dried Tomato-Cheddar-Chive Biscuits

AT A GLANCE

PREP

15 mins. to 20 mins.

BAKE

15 mins. to 20 mins.

TOTAL

30 mins. to 40 mins.

YIELD

10 biscuits

RECIPE #1

• 1 3/4 cups King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour I used this
• 2 teaspoons baking powder I used this
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 3/4 teaspoon salt I used this - kosher salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives  I used this
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1/3 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs I used this
• 1/2 cup cold milk

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment, or leave it bare; no need to grease it.
2. Blend together the flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
3. Work the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly.
4. Stir in the chives, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheese.
5. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and milk.
6. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until a cohesive dough forms; it'll be sticky.
7. Using a muffin scoop or large spoon, scoop the dough in 1/4-cupfuls onto the prepared baking sheet; you should have 10 mounds of dough. Press them down gently to flatten slightly. Allow the biscuits to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
8. Bake the biscuits for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and serve warm, or at room temperature. Store at room temperature for several days; freeze, well-wrapped, for longer storage.
9. Yield: 10 biscuits.

After I used the combination of ingredients, I used the instructions for the King Arthur recipe.

Also, The Lil Chef and I tried experimenting with mixing SnapChat and Instagram with the progress of the biscuits and it did not turn out quite how I wanted it to.... not sure if we'll do that again.
