Really nice biscuits and a very forgiving recipe. I used a ready-made gluten free white flour mix (Dovedale), put it all in the food processor to mix and get the dough. Didn't bother chilling it and still got a great biscuit. Second time I made these and not the last! - 12 Jan 2012
Altered ingredient amounts. Next time I'll use less sugar and add some salt. I kneaded it well, rolled it into a sausage before chilling, then cut off slices to bake. - 13 Jun 2011
Excellant recipe, just what I was looking for, the biscuit is not too sweet either which is nice. I didn't bother with the chilling part, it worked just as well. I rolled out the dough with plenty of rice flour as it was a bit sticky and I used a medium sized cutter to cut the rounds. You do have to persevere when doing the mixing part, but eventually the whole lot does hold together very well. - 18 Jan 2011
