This is an oldie but a goodie. And one of my favorites.

- 2 cups flour blend for baking
- 2 tsp guar gum
- pinch tsp salt
- 3 tsp baking pwd
- 1/2 tsp baking soda

- Mix dry ingredients together – from the flour blend to the sugar. Set aside.
- Using pastry knife, or 2 knives, or a fork, cut in shortening until the consistency of oatmeal.
- Beat wet ingredients together with whisk.
- Make a well in dry ingredients, add wet ingredients, mix until JUST blended.

These were tasty and quick. Made 10 regular sized muffin-tin biscuits. My husband and I both enjoyed them, tho they were better the first day than reheated. I will be making these again.
oh, btw – I used butter instead of margerine and water instead of vanilla (i just couldn’t see putting vanilla in a baking powder biscuit)
I have been baking gluten free for about three years,and have tried all kinds of biscuit recipes.this one is my all time favorite.I baked them today and ate one with butter and jelly,wonderful!! I couldn’t tell they were gluten free.this is it,I will never try another biscuit recipe.it doesn’t get any better than this one.Thanks so much.
Thanks for letting me know!! By the way – I couldn’t agree more!!
Just tried these tonight – very light and delicious! I used it to top a chicken pot pie – rolled it between plastic wrap and a silicon mat.
A little too sweet for that purpose. I’d probably remove most, if not all, of the sugar and the vanilla the next time. But on their own, I love the sweet flavor.
Just thrilled they were so light and not overly chunky or heavy. Lotsa baking powder in there

This is an old recipe and still my favorite. I don’t even bother rolling it out – I drop it by spoonfuls onto chicken stew for more of a ‘dumplings’ feeling. (and lessen the sugar too!) But I do love my biscuits & honey though!
