Drop Biscuits

1/4 c. butter
3/4 c. milk
1 egg
2 T. sugar
1 c. sorghum flour blend*
3/4 c. arrowroot powder
1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

In a food processor, blend wet ingredients together. Add dry ingredients and blend until dough is very smooth. (The dough will be very soft.) Use a large spoon to "drop" 12 mounds onto a 9x13" pan. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 mins, until nicely browned on top. Serve while still warm.

*Sorghum Flour Blend
1 1/2 c. sorghum flour
1 1/2 c. tapioca flour
1 c. potato starch

Variation:
Use 1/4 c. olive oil in place of the butter. Then add and extra 1/2 c. of brown rice flour.

To make Pigs in a Blanket, use the above variation and add 1/2 tsp. sage into the batter. Spoon 10 ovals onto a greased baking sheet. Place a sausage link in the middle of each, then cover with remaining dough. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 mins.
