Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rice flour
- 1/3 cup potato starch
- 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (see note)
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
Preheat oven to 450° F.
In a bowl, combine rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cream of tartar, salt and xanthan gum.
Cut in margarine or butter with a pastry blender, or an electric mixer on low. Make a well in the center and add buttermilk and egg all at once. Mix well until moistened and combined.
Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden.
Special notes:
If you do not have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute with 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar and 1/2 cup milk. Combine and let stand for 5 minutes before adding to dry ingredients. Milk will slightly thicken to mimic buttermilk.
