How To Make Low Carb Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ cup shortening
- 6 tbsp heavy cream
- 6 tbsp water
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 440 degrees F.
-
Combine cream and water in a bowl and set aside.
-
Mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
-
Add the shortening and cream mixture. Mix until it holds together.
-
Dust your working area with flour, pour the dough on it and knead until it forms a smooth dough. Note that this will require more kneading than usual, roughly 15 minutes.
-
Roll out dough to about one-half inch thickness.
-
Cut with a floured cutter, a glass rim will work fine, and place on an ungreased baking sheet, inches apart from each other.
-
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly.
-
Serve with spreadable butter or jam and eggs.
Recipe Notes
Note, it takes a little more effort since gluten is a "binder" - just roll harder.
