Easy
Peasy Biscuits Recipe
I
love that I can make these biscuits and have enough left over to freeze for
another meal. They're a healthier version of a classic American staple.
Ingredients
:
4
cups all-purpose flour
4
tablespoons baking powder
1
tablespoon sugar
1
tablespoon ground flaxseed
1
teaspoon sea salt
1
cup solid coconut oil
1-1/2
cups 2% milk
Preheat
oven to 450°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, flaxseed and
salt. Add coconut oil and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles
coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir just until moistened.
Turn
onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times. Pat or roll dough to a
rectangle 1/2 in. thick; fold dough into thirds (as you would a letter). Pat or
roll dough again into a rectangle 1/2 in. thick; cut with a pizza cutter or
knife into 24 biscuits, each about 2-1/2 in, square. Place 1 1/2 in. apart on
an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until light brown, 8-10 minutes. Serve warm.
Freeze
option: Freeze cut biscuit dough on waxed paper-lined baking sheets until firm.
Transfer to airtight containers; return to freezer. To use, bake biscuits as
directed.
Freeze
option: Freeze cooled baked biscuits in airtight containers. To use, heat in a
preheated 350° oven 15-20 minutes.
