In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
Ingredients:
½ cup brown rice flour
½ cup white rice flour
½ cup sweet rice flour
½ cup amaranth flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar (optional - amaranth flour is sweet)
1 can (13.5 oz) cold and solidified coconut milk - not low fat.
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450F degrees.
Put all the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor run until all the dry ingredients are mixed. Open the food processor and add the coconut milk. Run the food processor just long enough to mix thoroughly. You might have to open it once to scrape down the sides. The dough should be airy. Drop by tablespoon full onto cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Makes about 18 small biscuits.
I started making this in the winter and the coconut milk is always solid, with a little clear liquid in the bottom of the can. Im not sure how this would work with coconut milk that is liquid. If I was trying it with warmer, liquid coconut milk, I would add the coconut milk gradually through the feed tube while running the food processor.
You could try other flour types, but I think the sweet rice flour makes a big difference in the consistency.
These biscuits are really good heated up in a toaster oven.

18 Jan 2010 12:42:11 PM PDT I am brand new to the gluten free diet and have attempted bread..and failed. (I am currently waiting for my bread machine to arrive). I am desperate for some bread and this one looked easy enough. It was awesome! The flavor is delicious. Mine "puffed up" and are toasty on the outside and perfect in the middle. I am not sure if they were suppose to puff up, but they taste great and helped in my bread craving! (I did use Jules Bread mix though. I used 2 cups and 2 tsp of the flour, and added all the other ingredients you had; sugar, coconut milk). Thank you.
