Easy Gluten-free Biscuits

Making breads is probably the biggest challenge to cooking gluten-free.  This is the second time I have tried to make biscuits and this recipe worked better than the first.  These biscuits were truly delicious and easy to make.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup soy flour, sweet rice flour, tapioca flour, and white rice flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
2/3 cup milk

1.  Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees
2. In a large bowl whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cream of tartar
3.  Use a fork to cut in the shortening
4.  Add the milk all at once
5.  Stir until the dough clings together
6.  Spoon small amounts of dough onto a cookie sheet leaving room for the biscuits to expand a little
7.  Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown

*Serve the biscuits warm
**Store in a plastic bag or container for a few days
