Biscuits 2.0

Yield: 8 biscuits (1/4 cup size in diameter)

Biscuits 2.0
Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs, yolks and whites divided
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold butter
  • (if you wanted a little sweetness in your biscuits, you could add in 1-2 Tablespoons of honey)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy and at least doubled in size. Mix in the yolks until no streaks remain.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.
  4. Using a fork or pastry cutter, mix the butter into the dry ingredients until you have pea-sized bits of butter.
  5. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture, incorporating well (the batter will be rather wet, but the coconut flour will start to absorb some of the liquid. Do not add more coconut flour!).
  6. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the biscuit comes out clean.
  8. Makes 8.
