Baking Powder Biscuits

Sift the following together in a bowl:

2 cups gluten free flour (one that contains xanthan gum already)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Cut in 4 Tablespoons shortening with a fork (you can use butter or a non-dairy butter substitute instead if you prefer).

Add:
1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar

Combine until all dry ingredients are incorporated (At this point you may need to add a little bit more milk, depending on how thick it is.  You are looking for a soft dough-like texture.)  Scoop by tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet.  It will look like big round blobs.  After you have scooped them all out, wet your hand and flatten just slightly.  You don't want them really thin here--you just want to get rid of the round-ness on the top of the dough.  Bake immediately at 425 for about 12 minutes.  Enjoy!!  

Note: Regular milk is not necessary for this recipe.  The milk provides a little more flavor and some browning of the finished biscuit but you can certainly substitute water for the milk if you prefer, are out of milk, or cannot have any dairy.  I either make them with water or coconut, almond, or rice milk depending on what I have on hand.
