Gluten Free Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
1/2 cup gluten-free cornstarch
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons gluten free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon guar gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg white
cooking spray
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 450\u00b0F Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In the bowl of the food processor that has been fitted with the metal blade, add the flour through salt. Pulse a couple of times to combine.
Cut the shortening into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Pulse several times to incorporate. Beat together the milk and egg white. Add to the processor bowl and mix until dough forms a ball and pulls away from the bowl.
Lightly flour a cutting board or counter top with the all-purpose baking flour and turn out the dough. With wet hands pat dough down, sprinkle lightly with additional flour and roll gently to 3/4 inch thickness. Use a lightly floured 2\" biscuit cutter to cut into 6 biscuits. Place on prepared baking and bake 12 to 15 minutes. Half way through baking, brush the tops with melted butter.
