Gluten Free Gingerbread

The kids tried several different gingerbread recipes, and this is the one that tasted the best, and made the best gingerbread house walls with the least crumbling.

3/4 c shortening (we used real butter from Mad Cow's cream)
1 c sugar
1 egg
1/2 c molasses
2 1/4 c sorghum flour mix
1/2 tsp xantham gum
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp salt

Cream shortening, sugar, egg, molasses. Combine the dry ingredients, then add to creamed mixture. Chill dough thoroughly. We then flattened it all over the cookie sheet to make our walls, but you could cut out shapes, or whatever.
