Coconut "cake" and butter shorten these fluffy biscuits and buttermilk adds a wonderful richness. Great for strawberry shortcake!
| Prep time | 10' |
| Cooking time | @12' |
| Servings | 4 |
Ingredients
116 gr Bette Hagman’s featherlite mix (from The Gluten Free Gourmet Makes Comfort Food)
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 1/2 tsp Bakewell powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 tbls Goya brand creamed coconut (available in Spanish markets)
2 tbls unsalted butter
1/2 cup whole buttermilk (OK to add a tbls of real sour cream to 1/2 cup low fat buttermilk)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 F. Chill all ingredients. Blend dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. Cut shortening into chunks the size of lima beans. Pinch shortening into dry ingredients, forming flat flakes. Stir, then add buttermilk. Stir until just blended, then toss into a shaggy sphere. Turn out onto plastic wrap and pat into a disk 3/4" thick. Using a 1" - 1 1/2" diameter cookie cutter dipped in water, cut disks and drop onto parchment paper. Reshape dough mass and continue cutting to make 9 - 16 rounds. Bake 12’, until top is just browned. (It’s best to do atop a heated pizza stone). Cool, drench with strawberries and whipped cream, and serve (or just eat as soon as they’re cool enough :) )
