GLUTEN-FREE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS
When I was a little girl, making biscuits was one of my favorite things to do because they were so easy and so delicious. Not until I began my experiments with gluten-free baking did I realize the gift my mother and grandmother had passed on to me in the process: They taught me that in order in making the very best biscuits, it was all about the touch. The less you touched the dough, the better the biscuits. If you over-kneaded the dough, the biscuits would be much drier and would turn to stone twice as fast. So as you are kneading your dough, remember less is more, and you will have those moist, mouthwatering biscuits you've been dreaming about. Any of the suggested accompaniments you choose will sing atop this Southern classic.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to blend. Add the butter and vegetable shortening. Using a pastry cutter, cut the fats into your dry ingredients until the mixture resembles small peas.
- Stir in the buttermilk until the dough forms a ball. If the mixture is too dry, stir in the water 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn your dough out onto a work surface dusted with tapioca flour and knead until very smooth, 3 to 4 turns. Form the dough into a disk 1 inch thick. Using a 3-inch-diameter biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and arrange them in an unbuttered 9-inch cake pan. Bake for 12 to15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer the biscuits to wire racks to cool briefly.
- Serve hot, with butter, agave syrup, or preserves of your choice.
