No-Butter Biscuits

Author: Heather Leno
Servings – 8 Prep Time – 5-10 minutes Cook Time – 15 minutes
Ingredients:

2 tsp lemon juice

1/2 cup almond milk or milk of choice

1/2 cup applesauce 

 

2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour or oat flour for gluten free* —stir well, spoon into measure, and level top with a knife

1/4 cup almond flour — lightly pressed to measure.  For an even richer biscuit, increase the almond flour to 1/2 cup.

2 tsp non-aluminum baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Emulsify the liquids together and set aside.
  3. Mix together all the dry ingredients.  If using oat flour be especially thorough as it likes to clump together.
  4. When the oven is at full heat, fold the wet ingredients into the dry. Mixing only enough to moisten — do not overmix as it affects the rise.
  5. Scoop directly onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet or silicone pad with a 3-tablespoon scoop–press the batter lightly when you scoop it up.
  6. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until edges are browning.  Remove to a cooling rack.
Notes:

*Oat flour makes a darker biscuit and will not have the same flavor. It also tends to clump together, so wisk very well before adding the liquids — don’t sift as it will not be enough flour and the batter will be too wet.
