RecipesCoconut Flour Baking Powder Biscuits
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Preheat oven to 450 F. Grease a baking sheet with coconut oil or shortening. Set aside. Place the flours, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the shortening/butter and toss it to coat with the flour. Begin to cut the shortening into the flour, using your hands, pastry cutter, or two knives. This should take only a few seconds. Add the milk all at once and stir to moisten all the flour and shortening. Dough should be very wet. Dust a surface with flour, turn the dough onto the surface and dust top with more flour. Knead the dough about seven times and fold over in half once. Pat the folded dough into a circle about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Cut the biscuits with a two inch cookie or biscuit cutter (or glass) and place on the prepared pan with a little space between the biscuits or touching. Bake 10-15 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned. Enjoy! * For a more coconut flavor use 1/2 cup of flour and decrease the wheat flour by 1/4 cup. **If using salted butter decrease salt by about 1/4 teaspoon. By Sarah Shilhavy

Did they not rise very much? If so, that's normal. The coconut flour keeps it from puffing up as much as traditional ones. Try kneading the dough a couple more times or so and/or make a few folds (like you would for a buttermilk biscuit).

I used coconut milk instead of cows milk (1 cup with a 1/4 cup water). I added about 1/4 tsp cream of tartar also. Followed the original recipe for the rest. Biscuits are delicious BUT do have a coconut flavour!

I want to try, but can I use all coconut flour? I'm do a paleo diet and do not use any grains or dairy. Would also substitute coconut milk and coconut oil. I'll have to try. I bought 2 big bags of coconut flour and haven't used much. Also use almond meal alot.

No, all coconut flour won't work. The coconut flour needs a binder like eggs since it doesn't contain any gluten. You could use coconut milk in replace of the regular milk, but if you use a different fat other then butter or palm shortening it won't be the same. If you want a biscuit using coconut milk and coconut oil there's a recipe for that on here called "Coconut Baking Powder Biscuits".
