Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 cup So Delicious coconut milk, unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup sorghum flour
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour, plus 1/4 cup for dusting work surface
  • 1 tsp. guar gum
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 3 Tbsp. very cold Earth Balance or other butter alternative, diced
  • 3 Tbsp. very cold vegetable shortening, preferably non-hydrogenated, diced
  • 2-3 Tbsp. water if needed
  • Fruit preserves, honey, agave or butter alternative for serving

Instructions

  1. Position oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425°F.
  2. Measure and dice earth balance and vegetable shortening and place on a small plate in the freezer to keep cold.
  3. To make the "buttermilk" combine the coconut milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and set aside for 5 minutes to rest until curdled.
  4. In a large bowl combine all of the dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to blend. (See, I knew that whisk would come in handy!) Using a pastry cutter, cut the shortening and Earth Balance into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles small peas.
  5. Stir in the "buttermilk" until the dough forms a ball. If the mixture seems too dry stir in the water 1 tablespoon at a time. The dough should be more wet than dry.  Dust your work surface with some of the remaining 1/4 cup tapioca flour and knead dough until smooth. (About 3 to 4 turns.)
  6. Form the dough into a round approximately 1 inch thick. Using a 3-inch-diameter biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and arrange in a unbuttered 9-inch cake pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until cooked through. Remove the biscuits from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool briefly.
  7. Serve hot, with toppings of your choice. 

Notes

*IMPORTANT NOTE: The less you touch the dough the better the biscuits will be. Resist the urge to over-knead the dough or your biscuits will be dry and possibly turn into stone pucks.
