Dairy-Free Whole Wheat Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups white-wheat or whole wheat pastry flour (plus additional as needed)
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoon coconut sugar or granulated sugar of choice
• 1 1/4 cups canned coconut milk or coconut cream
• Dairy-free milk beverage (for brushing (optional))

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 450ºF.

2. 2

   For the biscuits, whisk together the flour, sugar (if using coconut sugar or evaporated cane sugar, I recommend powdering it in a spice grinder first), baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

3. 3

   Add the coconut milk and stir until it comes together into dough. If it is too sticky to handle, pat in additional flour as needed.

4. 4

   Place the dough on a floured surface and gently pat down. Fold in half, then pat or roll to 1/2-inch thickness (be gentle with the dough and minimize handling).

5. 5

   Cut dough using your favorite 2 to 2-1/2 inch cookie cutters, and place the cut dough on a baking sheet. Pat together excess scraps and cut or shape for remaining biscuits.

6. 6

   If desired, brush the tops of each biscuit with coconut milk beverage.

7. 7

   Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.
