Gluten Free Clover Rolls

These rolls work great with a variety of gluten free flour mix my favorite is one called Wendy Wark's gluten free flour mix but it works well with other flour mixes too, be sure to check if your mix already has xanthan gum. If it does you will need to omit the xanthan gum listed.These rolls are rich and buttery and stay fresh all day. They are our Thanksgiving day rolls. You can reheat in microwave easily for 10 seconds the next day if you have leftovers. You can double the ingredients to make a dozen.
