Allergy Diet Apple Biscuits (Gluten Free, Vegan)


One of the silly challenges of living abroad is deciding what to call these. My brain says biscuits. Culture says scones, pronounced with a soft "o." I can't get used to it!! Whatever they are, they've been a lifeline for me. I've been on an elimination diet for Boaz's sake. I came up with these as one of the few snacky carbs I can eat. They are not amazing, but they are pretty good and fill the tummy!

2 C rice flour
1 C potato starch or (tapioca starch)
1 tsp salt
4 tsp GF baking powder
1 tsp guar gum (optional)
1/2 C sugar
2 shredded apples (unpeeled)
2/3 C rice bran oil
2-4 Tb rice milk

Stir together dry ingredients in mixer bowl. Shred apples over top or add to bowl. Add oil. Turn mixer on low and mix until crumbly. Add rice milk 1 Tb at a time until dough holds together like biscuit dough. Stop mixing. Bake at 200C for 12-13 min or until lightly browned.
