I will do this soon and give you exact measurements.

GF Flaky Biscuits

1 cup light colored flour (we like amaranth, sorghum, or millet)
1 cup starch (arrowroot, tapioca, corn, potato, or sweet rice flour are some examples)
2 tsp sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs (or your favorite egg replacer)
1/2 cup margarine (1 stick) or shortening or lard
2/3 cup soured milk substitute (1 tsp lemon juice or vineger, plus enough water or milk substitute to make 2/3 cup liquid)
Method
Preheat oven to 425F.

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.

Add the margarine/shortenin g/lard to the dry ingredients, and use 2 knives or a pastry blender to mix together until it looks like rough cornmeal.

Mix in the eggs and milk, and stir until just moistened.

Drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet that has been well greased, lined with parchment, or lined with a silicone baking liner.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. They turn out a bit crumbly, but incredibly flaky and delicious!
