Irish Soda Bread (or orange scones -or hot cross buns) Gluten free /vegan

These are the orange hot cross buns (made from this recipe-see below for changes/additions)

1 cup millet flour

1/4 cup sorghum flour

1/4 cup brown rice flour

1/2 cup potato starch

1 TBSP arrowroot starch

2 TBSP sugar

1 tsp baking soda

2 and 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp sea salt

1 and 1/2 tsp xanthan gum

1 TBSP egg replacer (found at health food store)

5 TBSP shortening (I used palm shortening - you could also use coconut oil)

1/4 cup plain coconut milk yogurt

3/4 cup rice milk (for scones add 1/2 cup orange juice + 1/4 cup rice milk)

1/2 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

1 TBSP maple syrup

1 cup of raisins

2 tsp orange zest (optional but tastes REALLY good!)

for scones add the zest of one orange and 1/2 tsp real orange extract

for hot cross bun type scones add other types of dried fruits in addition to the raisins

for scones or sweeter, prettier soda bread sprinkle the top with vanilla scented cinnamon raw sugar

Mix dry ingredients, cut in shortening, add wet ingredients, mix til just combined. plop dough on a parchment lined cookie sheet. sprinkle with raw sugar . bake in 375 degree oven for soda bread til inside is cooked through (30-60 minutes- watch the top doesn't burn can turn oven to 350 when top is browned)

for drop scones- 375 degree oven for  15-20 minutes
