Ingredients

  

  • 2 cup(s) wheat gluten flour
  • 3 teaspoon(s) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1/4 cup(s) shortening
  • 3/8 cup(s) cream
  • 3 floz water

Instructions

 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Combine cream and water to make 3/4-cup “milk” substitute.
  • Mix flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Cut in shortening thoroughly to resemble “meal”.
  • Stir in almost all of the “milk”.
  • If dough is not pliable, add just enough milk to make a puffy, easy to roll dough.
  • Make a ball of dough and place on lightly floured surface.
  • Knead 20-25 times or about one half minute.
  • Roll out dough to about one half-inch thickness.
  • (Note, it takes a little more effort since gluten is a “binder” – just roll harder).
  • Cut with a floured cutter (a glass rim will work fine) and place on an un-greased baking sheet.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 5 carbs per biscuit.
