Directions
Heat oven to 450° F
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), sugar and salt. Mix well.
Add shortening, and using a pastry cutter, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg into the milk.
Pour the egg and milk into the flour mixture and stir until just moistened.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead about 15 times.
Roll to approx. 3/4 inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter (or empty tin can), cut out biscuits and transfer to a baking sheet.
Bake at 450° for about 8-10 minutes or until the tops begin to turn golden brown.
