Grain Free Buttermilk Biscuits
Grain Free Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup Organic Cassava Flour
- ¾ cup Organic Potato Starch (NOT potato flour)
- ¼ cup Organic Coconut Flour
- 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
- 1 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
- 1 T Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- 6 T Cold Grass-fed Butter, grated with a cheese grater
- 1 ½ cups Full Fat Cream of Full Fat Coconut Milk
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vineger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a baking dish or pie pan with butter.
- Add the 1 tsp apple cider vinegar to cream or coconut milk and set aside.
- Add the flours, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to a large bowl and whisk together.
- Grate the butter with a cheese grater and mix into the flour until it makes a crumbly course dry batter.
- Add the “buttermilk” to the dry batter and using your hands mix gently. Make sure not to over-mix the batter or it will be tough. If it seems too dry, add ¼ cup more cream.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a rectangle. Fold the rectangle into 3rds and turn the dough a half turn. Then flatten into a rectangle until the dough is about a ½-¾ inch thick.
- Cut the dough with a 2 ½ inch biscuit cutter and place the biscuits onto the prepared baking dish, the edges of the biscuits should be touching.
- Re-roll the dough as needed (by stacking the scraps and flattening).
- Place the biscuits in the pan in the freezer for 5 minutes to ensure that the butter stays nice and cold. This is especially important!
- Remove them from the freezer and brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining 1 tablespoon of cream.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are browned and baked through.
Notes
