Poppy Seed Cheese Biscuits

This is an adaptation of a recipe by Bruce Fife.  So far my husband hasn’t liked anything made with coconut flour, until I made these today.  We both liked this recipe after a bit of tweaking.   One of these biscuits provides 38% RDA of Vitamin B12 and 31% RDA Vitamin A!  To lower the carbs a bit, you could reduce the amount of cheese in these and recalculate the nutritional info to reflect that change.  The coconut flour and poppy seeds make these unsuitable for Atkins Induction.

INGREDIENTS:

¼ c. unsalted butter, melted

1/3 c. coconut flour

4 beaten eggs

pinch salt

1 tsp. poppy seeds

1/2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese

VARIATION:   Omit poppy seeds and add ¼ tsp. each garlic powder and onion powder to get closer to the flavor of Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits.  A sprinkle of Parmesan on top would also be good.

DIRECTIONS:  Preheat oven to 400º.  Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and stir well.  Measure in the wet ingredients and stir in with a fork to make a smooth mixture.  Batter will seem a bit wet at first, but let it set a few minutes on the counter and it will thicken up to a nice dough.  Spoon up 9 equal portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.    Bake at 400º for 12-15 minutes.
