BUTTERMILK GLUTEN FREE DROP BISCUITS

 1 cup brown rice flour

1 cup sorghum flour

½ cup all purpose gf flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)

½ cup arrowroot starch

¼ cup potato starch or tapioca starch

2 Tbsp. pure cane sugar

4 tsp. Hain Grain Free Baking Powder

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. guar gum

½ cup lard

1 ¼ cups hemp milk

2 Tbsp. cider vinegar

1 egg (or 1 Tbsp. chia or flax seeds mixed with 3 Tbsp. hot water & left to set 5 minutes)

Combine milk and vinegar, let stand 5 minutes.  If using egg replacer, combine and let stand.

In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.  Cut lard into dry ingredients with pastry blender or two forks – until it is crumbly.

In smaller bowl, combine egg or replacer, and buttermilk.  Pour buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a fork.  Dough will be just slightly stiff when mixed.  

This is one of my latest, most-requested meals by my family.  It is soo easy to put together, and is an amazing comfort food dinner!
