Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine the all-purpose gluten-free flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, guar gum, and salt. Pulse a few times until all the dry ingredients are well mixed.
3
Cut the shortening into small pieces and add it to the food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4
In a separate bowl, beat together the milk and egg white until well combined. Add this mixture to the processor and blend until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
5
Lightly flour a cutting board or countertop with gluten-free flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface.
6
With wet hands, pat the dough down gently and sprinkle a little more flour on top. Roll the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness.
7
Using a lightly floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 6 biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Halfway through the baking time, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for a deliciously rich finish.
