GF Baking Powder Biscuits

Works great as a pizza crust!

3 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ¾ cup rice flour
1 ½ tsp tapioca starch
2 ½ tsp xanthan gum
½ tsp salt
¾ - 1 cup milk *in dryer conditions additional milk may be required*

Preheat oven to 450 F. Cut shortening into dry ingredients. Stir in enough milk to form dough. Knead 10 times. Roll out ½ inch thick. Cut into round biscuits. Bake 12-14 minutes or until bottoms are browned.
