MrsP's Hearty Biscuits

1 1/4 CUP GF Mix *(6/2/1)
1/4 cup Teff flour
1/4 cup Quinoa Flour
1 tsp Guar Gum
3 tsps Baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsps sugar
1 tsp salt
2 Tbs of Flax meal
6 Tbs shortening
1 cup of buttermilk **
(or 1 cup of milk with 2 teaspoons lemon juice.)


Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients and whisk to mix. Mix the shortening until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add the liquid and gently mix until the dough forms a ball. Turn out onto a floured surface (sweet rice flour) and pat to
1" thickness. Cut the dough into 2 ½” squares or use a biscuit cutter. Place lightly touching each biscuit on an ungreased baking pan (or pizza stone) Bake for about 20 minutes. CHeck to make sure that the biscuit dough is done before removing from the oven. Makes about 8 large biscuits

**I have found if I sub 1 cup of yogurt, it makes a very light biscuit.

GF Flour Mix
6 cups Sweet Rice flour
2 cups Potato starch
1 cup Tapioca starch


If you place the biscuits lightly touching each other, they have something to grab ahold of and they rise higher than if they are placed apart on the cookie sheet.
