Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• An oven set to 450 degrees F
• 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 2 cups All Purpose Flour
• 8 teaspoons aluminum free baking powder
• 8 - 10 Tablespoons of Virgin Organic Coconut Oil
• 1 and ½ cup of cultured buttermilk
• 1 cup of Parmesan or Romano cheese (Grated not powdered)
• 1 and ½ cup sharp or extra sharp grated cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon whole Thyme leaf
• 1 teaspoon whole Rosemary leaf
• ½ teaspoon Dill leaf

1. Take herbs and crush up in a mortar and pestle as much as possible. Mix up dry ingredients including cheese and herbs.
2. Cut in coconut oil thoroughly to make coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until mix forms soft dough that leaves the side of the bowl.
3. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead six to eight strokes to mix thoroughly.
4. Roll out to ¾ inch thick with floured hands. Cut w/biscuit cutter and place on pan for baking.
5. Spread tops of biscuits with olive oil, or other oil for browning. Bake for about 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

Tips & Warnings

• This is a great way to add fiber into your diet.
• Though you can use ground herbs, it may make your biscuits green instead of them being beige with small green flecks.
• The flavor of the herbs is also not as strong so it often takes more powdered herbs.
• I have found with the cheeses and the herbs, adding salt is not necessary though you can if you wish.
