4. Cut with biscuit cutter.
5. Collect dough and repeat until done.
6. Bake in a 350 F oven for 12-15 minutes

Tips

For easy clean up put a piece of plastic wrap on top of the food processor bowl before placing the top on. Also use parchement paper to flatten dough for easy clean up. Save leftover dough to make biscuit toppings on stews and casseroles.

Anyways, we were hoping to set it a small part of it on his train table while he slept, but he found it and had to start playing with it.  Now our living room is full of train pieces. For a 29 month old he does  good job of creating a track.  Most of the time he can put the pieces together by himself, but occasionally he needs Dad’s help.

We also grabbed a video of him building his set.

• 1c White Rice Flour
• 1c Brown Rice Flour
• 3/4c Tapioca Starch

1. Measure all flours together and mix

You can substitute Amaranth for another flour you have on hand. Including rice and tapioca.  I have come to like using ground up qunioa flakes.
