The Best Biscuits I Have Ever Eaten

Ya know when you ate gluten and the biscuits were flaky but at the same time they left you wanting a huge drink of anything? These biscuits are flaky and yummy but don't leave me needing a huge drink. Gluten biscuits always had something that didn't sit right with me, they could be gooey, thick, heavy, dry and so on.

This biscuit recipe sits perfectly with me and my family. My family isn't gluten free and can eat anything they want. They also love biscuits. They love these.

I had been making my own coconut flour in the vita mix but it never got as finely ground as the store bought version. Friday I bought a bag of Bob's Red Mill coconut flour, although I had been intending to order from a company on line. This was convenient and I am happy I did it. I went to the Open Original Shared Linkand got a recipe for biscuits and I cannot say enough good things about this recipe.

Thanks for posting this! I've been wanting to try coconut flour, but as I'm sure you know, it's pricey. Since I never liked soft biscuits (and now since dairy is a no-no), I'd leave that out if I ever get to try this. Can you describe the texture? I'm looking to get a more crunchy biscuit, but so far they turn out too soft and fluffy for my preference.

About the baking powder - you're right. And when you mentioned wanting a big drink after eat gluten biscuits, I'm not surprised since that happened to me but I thought it was the baking powder! Anyway, I'm guessing you saw Open Original Shared Link about baking powder, and was also wondering what brand you used for these biscuits?

Yes it is pricey. Which is why I kept putting of buying it, I had been grinding my own but it was never a powder. Although I would use it again if I had to because it did help my baking and it didn't really taste like coconut in such small amounts.

I have been on the KAF baking circle for years and they have had all kinds of conversations about baking powder and taste. I will have to go back and take a look at what they have to say.

Something I will look up is a recipe that addressed the bp getting used up and they mixed it in using a different method. I will try and find that tonight.

These are more chewy and somewhat crunchy, I baked them longer and the bottoms got quite crisp. Ya know how some gluten free stuff has more a soggy texture and taste weird? These don't do that. I am going to have to try this out in more recipes cause I cannot stand that weirdness. Oh and they were not doughy at all.

These also do not rise a whole lot, they were kinda flat really and I was thinking about upping the soda and downing the bp. What do you think?

I have been using rumford but will have to look for bobs when I run out.

The recipe I was thinking of dissolves the baking powder in the eggs then mixes it with the rest of the ingredients. It was a German cake recipe and I have made it before but I don't recall that this method made any difference or not.

Yeah, I'm not surprised they didn't rise up much with Rumford.

Baking soda is only to balance out the acidic ingredients like dairy. That's basically all it's there to do, in an attempt to avoid having the baking powder fizzle out. So even when using Bob's, I'd still add the soda if dairy is included.

But, try Bob's and you'll never look back! I have an unopened can of Rumford, which I guess I should give away to some gluten-eater.

Before trying Bob's baking powder, I tried a number of things along these lines. The best results of which yielded only the very slightest improvement. Variances from batch to batch easily did the same.

Oh, and thanks for letting me know about the texture. Sounds like I need to try some coconut flour.

Thanks for the recipe they sound delicious. I have been using coconut flour for a while and I love it. Try adding club soda for the extra liquid it will make it fluff up more.

How are making your own coconut flour?

I had seen something about club soda before and had been meaning to ask about it. How do you use it? Fresh and bubbly I assume but I figure I best ask.

I was grinding dessicated coconut in my vitamix but it doesn't come out like the flour you buy, it is chunkier but I liked it still. In cakes it works great.

I am anxious to try a quick bread with the coconut, even if it is plain. I would like to find something along those lines to eat. I am not really like any yeast bread all that much even though I like them at first I don't eat them after they cool off, only fresh from the oven. Just don't like them! :(

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
