This is another recipe handed down through generations in my family. It incorporates a browned pasta (orzo) then a standard cook of non-converted white rice on top of the browned pasta. It’s a real treat, and goes well with anything on the grill, especially chicken, lamb or pork.

This is a recipe for biscuits that does not include dairy for those with a dairy allergy. If you are ok with dairy, jsut substitute real butter for the alternatives used in this recipe.

Biscuits

Ingredients

1/3 cup Spectrum Butter flavored Shortening - available at Whole Foods, Butter Ghee is also a decent sub for our family
2 tsp Tbsp Baking powder -or- 2 tsp cream of tarter and 1 tsp baking soda Baking Powder contains corn starch so we use this substitute
1 cup Coconut Milk the creamy stuff in a can from Thailand
1 teaspoon Sugar
2 teaspoons Salt
2 cups all-purpose flour

Servings:

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450
mix dry ingredients together
mix in shortening (not very much mixing here - leave it clumpy)
slowly add coconut milk …continue mixing lightly.
on a floured board, fold dough carefully over itself half at a time about 7-8 times (this makes the layered flakes)
push down to 2/3 inch thick
use a biscuit cutter, and cut straight down without twisting (to ensure the sides are not sealed and the biscuits can rise in the oven)
place on a greased baking sheet in the oven at 450 for 12-15 min
brush with butter flavored shortening when done
serve!

Recipe Notes

This recipe eliminates any Dairy, soy, or corn from a standard recipe. Baking powder contains corn starch, and i substituted as seen above.
