    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.

    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....

      fed up italian

      Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant l...

      Feeling ill

      Welcome to the forum, @Whyz! By "half way to being diagnosed" I assume you mean you have had the blood antibody testing done but not the gastroscopy with biopsy. Is this correct? Were the results of your blood work positive for celiac disease?

      My 5 months of Struggle

      Three days of no gluten is not likely to have much impact on serum antibody test results. I have more concern over exactly what test or tests were ordered. When you get the results back, please post them including the reference ranges for the tests for negative vs. positive. What country are you in? Do you have much choice in what doctors you see? Sounds...
