Gluten Free Hambrger Buns

I have been gluten free for several months and am learning how to do so while enjoying the simple pleasures in life. Lettuce wrapped burgers are delicious but sometimes nothing satisfies like a real down home burger on a fresh baked bun.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 4-5

Ingredients

• 2⁄3 cup tapioca starch
• 1⁄4 cup buckwheat flour
