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.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Spectrum Butter flavored Shortening - available at Whole Foods, Butter Ghee is also a decent sub for our family

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!
