Biscuits

Ingredients

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

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!
