These 3-ingredient biscuits are made easy with self-rising flour and coconut oil.
Ingredients:
2 cups self-rising flour, store-bought or homemadehttp://www.gimmesomeoven.com/
how-to-make-self-rising-flour-recipe/
1/4 cup coconut oil (solid, not melted)
3/4 cup coconut milk*, or any milk
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Add self-rising flour and coconut oil to a mixing bowl, and use a pastry cutter or
forks to cut the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture is like fine crumbs. Stir in the
milk until mixture forms a soft dough and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Knead
the mixture until combined, but be careful not to over-knead.
3. Turn the dough out onto a cutting board that has been lightly dusted with flour.
Gently roll the dough out until it reaches a 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter (mine
was a 2-inch circle) to cut out the biscuits, and transfer to a baking sheet.
4. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the biscuits have risen and ever so slightly begin to
brown on top. Remove and serve immediately.
*I used refrigerated coconut milk from the carton, not the thicker coconut milk from the
can.
3-INGREDIENT COCONUT OIL BISCUITS (right)
A different take on traditional biscuits and
gravy,this easy breakfast casserole is a fun way
to mix things up at the breakfast table.
Ingredients
1 can large, flaky biscuits (such as Grands)
½ pound ground breakfast sausage
3 Tablespoons flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 and ½ cups milk
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F).
2. Prepare a small casserole dish (approxi-
mately 7x10) with cooking spray. Set aside.
3. Open biscuits, and cut biscuits into quar-
ters.
4. Layer half of the quarters in prepared pan.
5. Bake for 10 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, prepare gravy.
7. In a heavy skillet, brown the ground break-
fast sausage over medium high heat until fully
cooked.
8. Sprinkle the cooked sausage with 3 Table-
spoons of flour.
9. Use a wooden spoon to stir flour into sau-
sage until completely absorbed.
10. Lower heat to medium, and cook flour/
sausage mixture for 3-5 minutes, stirring fre-
quently.
11. Add milk, and stir to combine.
12. Add salt and black pepper.
13. Stir frequently until mixture comes to a
slight boil.
14. Taste, and adjust seasonings as desired. (I
usually add more black pepper)
15. If the gravy is too thick, add a bit more
milk. You want the gravy to be thickened but
not too thick, not “globby,” it should still be
slightly runny.
16. Pour gravy over the cooked biscuits.
17. Layer the remaining uncooked, quar-
tered biscuits over the gravy.
18. Place casserole dish on a baking sheet,
and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden
brown. If they start to over-brown, you can
cover with foil for the last 10 minutes or so.
19. Serve immediately.
20. Enjoy!
