Buckwheat-Sorghum Biscuits

i'm resurrecting this blog because my relief that cumin was the culprit was short-lived. i gorged on Indian food last week and had nary a tummy flutter that wasn't directly due to the sheer volume of food i ate. back to the drawing board, which means, yup, a major elimination diet.

in honour of my renewed attempts to determine the cause of my reactions, i tooled around with an adaptation of my tried 'n' true baking powder biscuit recipe...

1 cup sorghum flour
1 cup potato starch
1/3 cup buckwheat flour
2 tsp xanthan gum
3.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

--sift/whisk together

4.5 tbsp margarine

--cut into flour mix until crumbly

3/4 cup milk (actually, just a tad more)

--work into crumbly mix until smooth.

--pat out dough into 3/4 inch thick block and slice into 12 portions. arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
bake for 20 minutes @ 450F.

these are surprisingly tasty! enjoy with margarine or honey or your favourite jam.
