This is not a gluten free recipe, but it’s a nice treat for people looking for reduced carb recipes.  The extra fiber from the coconut flour promotes colon health too!

1 cup unbleached flour (I haven’t tried this with fresh ground 100% whole wheat yet)

1/2 cup coconut flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 packet purevia stevia blend (optional)

1/4 cup plus 1 Tablespoon coconut oil, or butter

1 1/4 cups skim milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Set a large cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up with it.  In a mixing bowl combine flours, baking powder, salt and stevia.  Useing a fork or pastry blender, cut in 1/4 cup of coconut oil or butter.  Stir in milk and set aside for 3 minutes.  This allows the coconut flour to absorb the moisture.  Turn mixture out onto a silicone baking mat, or pastry cloth.  Pat 1 inch thick and cut with a 2 inch cutter.  Place the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil or butter into the hot skillet and allow it to melt.  Place the biscuits in the skillet and bake for 15 minutes.  Makes 11-12 biscuits
