Drop Biscuits {gluten, dairy and egg-free}

Biscuits - Oh yeah!  I love biscuits and had missed them for so long.  That's why I'm so happy to share this easy gluten-free biscuit recipe with you.  Back in the day, ya know, before we realized my daughter couldn't eat gluten, dairy or eggs, we used to make biscuits on Sunday mornings with our handy Jiffy All-Purpose Baking Mix.  Even setting aside allergies, I'm so glad we makes these from scratch now since those mixes have ingredients that no one should eat.  Can you say 'partially hydrogenated oil'?  Anyway, these drop biscuits are quite versatile.  They can be enjoyed for breakfast topped with jam, honey or coconut butter.  How about biscuits and sausage with gravy.  They are just perfect at dinnertime alongside a steaming bowl of creamy potato soup.   You could even make a sandwich on one of these.  The possibilities are endless!  And since these are drop biscuits you get to skip the mess and work of rolling out dough.  Just mix, plop, bake and eat.  Give 'em a try.  I think you'll love 'em!

Drop Biscuits {gluten, dairy, egg-free}

1 1/2 cups millet flour (sorghum works too, but millet gives them a wonderfully sweet, light flavor)
1/2 cup potato starch (tapioca starch works too)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 cup sugar
1 TBSP ground flaxseed meal
1/3 cup oil
1 - 1 1/4 cups dairy-free milk (I use almond milk)

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (millet flour, potato starch, salt, baking powder, xanthan gum, sugar and flaxseed).  Add in oil.  Add in 1 cup milk and stir, checking consistency.  If batter is a bit dry or thick, add up to 1/4 cup more milk.  Mix by hand until you have a nice thick (but not too thick) consistency.  Using a large mixing spoon, drop dough onto non-stick baking sheet (or a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat).  This yields about 8-9 good sized biscuits.  Bake at 450 for 12-15 minutes.
