I made this recipe and it was great. I added chopped cashews in the mix and stuck a few nuts on top (chopped cashews on some, walnuts or almonds or almonds on the others). The biscuits are crumbly but still hold together. Very happy with it and I’ll make them again. BTW, they’re rich.
Thanks for your notes and glad you enjoyed the recipe Ian!
Hi – I would be really interested to know if anyone’s tried this. One cup of coconut flour sounds like an awful lot!!!
Yes, we tested these here at Go Dairy Free 2 days ago. I thought that seemed like a lot also, but the amount of coconut milk beverage balances it. They don’t rise much, but have excellent flavor. The dough is crumbly (as noted) but the end result is just a touch crumbly, making them have a slightly flaky texture. We thought the free-form biscuits turned out much better than the roll and cut ones.
Fab thanks!! I look forward to making these this week 🙂 I’ll let you know how I get on!!
