Servings: persons

2 tablespoons dry active yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
2 cups rice milk (or milk) - warm but not hot
*11/2 cups superfine or Asian White Rice Flour
*1/2 cup superfine or Asian Sweet Rice Flour (also called glutinous rice flour)
*3/4 cup potato starch (not potato flour)
*1/2 cup tapioca starch
3 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher or fine sea salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 large eggs - use divided
1/4 cup butter or non-dairy butter substitute (Earth Balance recommended) plus more for brushing the pans
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
*in place of the various flours and starches you can use 31/4 cups of a good quality, all-purpose gluten free flour blend.

1
Combine the yeast, sugar and warmed milk in a small bowl and whisk to dissolve the sugar. Let sit for 6 - 8 minutes or until the mixture is foamy and had increased in volume.
2
Combine the flours, starches (or all-purpose gluten free flour blend), xanthan gum, salt and baking powder in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix for 30 seconds on medium-low to combine and break up any lumps in the potato starch.
3
Add the yeast mixture, 2 eggs, melted butter substitute (or butter), honey and vinegar. Mix on medium low until combined. Scrap down the sides of the bowl, turn the mixer on high and mix for 3 minutes. You should have a very thick, smooth batter.
4
Brush 2 standard muffin pans with melted butter (or butter substitute) or spray with gluten free, non-stick cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
5
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling about 3/4 full. Alternately you can use a small (#60) ice cream scoop and place 3 scoops in each muffin tin (like a clover leaf). Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm, draft free place to rise. Let rise for 35 minutes or until the dough has almost doubled in size.
6
Beat the remaining egg with 1 teaspoon of water very well with a fork. Gently brush the tops of each roll with the beaten egg.
7
Bake for 17 - 18 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes.
8
The rolls can be made ahead - bake them, let them cool in the pans, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Warm for a few minutes in a 350 degree oven.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
