Gluten Free Biscuits

I hope you’ll enjoy this recipe I received from a friend.
From Debbie.

Ingredients:

1 cup of rice flour
¾ cup of potato starch
2 teaspoons of granulated sugar
2 teaspoons of gluten free baking powder
¼ teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of Xantham gum (optional)
4 tablespoons of butter
2/3 cup of water or milk

Method:

Measure first 6 ingredients into a medium bowl. Stir well.
Cut or rub in butter until crumbly. Add the water. Stir until you can form a ball. Knead 6-8 times on rice floured surface.
Roll or pat a scant 1” thick. Cut into rounds with 2 inch (5cm)
biscuit cutter. Arrange on greased baking sheet.

Bake in 350F oven for 15 minutes. These do not brown much.
Cool on rack. Makes 10 biscuits.

Currant Biscuits: Add ¼ cup of currants to dough.
Cheese biscuits: Add 1/3 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese to dough.
