Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Put rice flour, potato starch, almond flour, tapioca flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and cardamom into a large bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.

Put buttermilk, currants, butter, and egg into a second bowl and stir well to combine. Slowly pour buttermilk mixture over flour mixture and stir until combined. The batter will be sticky and thick.

Spread batter into a greased and rice-floured 6-inch pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

Slice bread and serve warm, or set aside to let cool to room temperature and serve.
