Low Carb Biscuits
Bask in the goodness of these decadent biscuits prepared with wheat gluten flour. They're every bit as tasty as the traditional type.
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.
