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! :(

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
