Biscuits

  • 360 g King Arthur's Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour see notes
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp Bob's Red MIll Egg Replacer
  • 2 tbsp Warm water
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cup Canned classic coconut milk 1 (15 oz) can
  • 83 g Spectrum Palm Shortening see notes
  • 4 tbsp Earth Balance butter sticks

Coating

  • 2 tbsp Earth Balance butter sticks Melted
  • 1 tbsp Honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare a cookie sheet or muffin top pan with a light coat of spectrum shortening.
  • Measure canned coconut milk and add the apple cider vinegar to it. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • In small bowl whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Add dry mix to food processor.
  • Cut butter into small pieces and add it to the food processor.
  • Next add the shortening to the food processor spreading it out evenly.
  • Pulse everything together until it is completely worked together. (You can also cut the butter and shortening into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter.
  • In small bowl add the egg replacer and water. Set aside and let thicken for one minute.
  • Open up the food processor to add the thickened egg replacer, honey and a bit of the buttermilk.
  • Close the food processor again and pulse the mixture as you drizzle the rest of the buttermilk through the tubular opening at the top of the food processor.
  • Stop when the dough has completely come together. (You may open the food processor to give it a stir with a spoon to make sure the bottom of the mixture is mixed in well).
  • Using a 2 tbsp ice cream scoop, drop 2-3 inch balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake 13-15 minutes.
  • Prepare coating by melting the dairy free butter and honey together.
  • As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven brush the top of each biscuit with the butter/honey coating.
  • Serve and sink your teeth into these warm delicious biscuits!

Notes

Notes:
  • 360 grams of flour is about 3 cups (375 grams) if you are using cups remove about 1 tbsp of flour
  • 83 grams of shortening is right in the middle of 1/3 (68 grams) cup and 1/2 cup (102 grams). Using a little less is better if you are measuring in cups.
  • You can replace the egg replacer and tablespoon of water with one egg
  • As with all my recipes, you can use dairy if you can tolerate it.
