Gluten Free Hamburger or Hot Dog Buns

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3/4 cup rice flour
1/4 cup potato starch
1/2 cup tapioca flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar

Mix above ingredients. In a separate bowl mix the following:

2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup milk

For hamburgers: Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients. Spray cookie sheet with Pam and then spray inside of muffin rings. Put 2 very large spoonfuls of batter in each, make sure the rings aren't too close to each other. Use wet hands to smooth the tops. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (opt) and bake immediately for approx. 13-15 minutes. They should get nice and golden brown on top. Don't undercook them or they will fall when cooling. Take out of muffin rings and let cool completely. Makes around 5 buns.

For hot dogs: Add 1/4-12 tsp more xanthan gum to batter. On a greased cookie sheet, spoon batter into an oblong shape, as long as the hot dogs you will be using. Use wet hands to smooth the tops. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (opt) and bake immediately following above instructions.

Once the buns are cooled enough, slice them as desired and use immediately, or freeze immediately. Work well also for breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, etc.
