    Basic Biscuits (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Serving Size: 12

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     1 cup sorghum flour
    ¾ cup gluten-free Flour Blend
    ¼ cup Sweet Rice Flour
    1 teaspoon xanthan gum
    2 teaspoons sugar
    3 teaspoons baking powder
    ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    ½ cup shortening -- cubed
    1 egg
    ½ cup milk

    Crack egg into large measuring cup. Add milk to make 2/3 cup of liquid. Lightly beat together. Set aside. Sift all dry ingredients. Place in food processor. Pulse in cubed shortening. Add milk/egg mixture. Pulse until dough is formed. I usually wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour or overnight, but you could roll or pat it out right away and use a biscuit cutter to cut biscuits. Place on baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 10 min. I usually brush melted butter on them the last couple of minutes. This helps them to brown a little bit better.

    These biscuits were bitter and very crumbley I can't recommend them.

    Scott Adams

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    This recipe comes to us from Elizabeth Griffith.
    Makes 12 biscuits.
    1 cup gluten-free flour mix with a bit of chick pea flour thrown in (tapioca, brown and white rice flour, potato starch, chick pea flour, ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum/cup)
    ½ cup tapioca flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    3-4 Tablespoons sugar

    Sift all this together and add 2 medium large, ripe, well-mashed bananas (¾ cup - 1 cup) and mix well. Add chick pea flour until the dough is just barely non-sticky drop onto oiled baking sheet, and bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.

    This recipe is a sampling from a new cookbook tentatively titled The Gluten-Free Baker by Roben Ryberg, scheduled for publication in the spring of 1999.
    Roben Ryberg: This dough is great fun to work with. My kids like to play with the scraps. This dough is quite soft, and so are the biscuits.
    Ingredients:
    1/3 cup shortening
    ½ cup potato starch
    ¾ cup cornstarch
    1 ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    1 tablespoon sugar
    ¾ cup milk
    ½ teaspoon salt
    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 375 . In medium bowl, blend all ingredients. Mix very well to remove any lumps. Dough will be quite soft and a bit sticky. Roll or pat our dough on a lightly floured (cornstarch) surface. Dough should be about ½ inch thick....

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity...

      Hello, I am a 45 year old mom, who was diagnosed at 29 with Celiac. My now 14 year old son was diagnosed just before his 4th birthday. Needless to say, we are old pros with the diet. He was experiencing some issues, overall health took a major plummet a year ago, and through a bit of work, was diagnosed with EOE. Tried diet alone, but his follow up endoscopy...

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      But if you have been off of wheat for a period of weeks/months leading up to the testing it will likely turn out to be negative for celiac disease, even if you actually have celiac disease. Given your symptoms when consuming gluten, we certainly understand your reluctance to undergo the "gluten challenge" before testing but you need to understand that the...

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      Thank you very much for your reply. I hadn't heard of celiac disease but began to notice a pattern of pain. I've been on the floor more than once with agonising pain but this was always put down to another abdominal problem consequently I've been on a roundabout of backwards and forwards with another consultant for many years. I originally questioned this...

      Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet

      Wow! Fascinating info. Thanks so much! I really appreciate the guidance. @Spacepanther Over the years I have had rheumatologists do full lab work ups on me. They told me they had screened me for arthritis, lupus, and Lyme disease (all negative). In addition to joint pain and stiffness I had swelling in both knees that later moved to my elbow as well. I also...
