Simple Biscuits with Coconut Oil


Makes 8 large biscuits

3 cups flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup hot water

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, or by hand, combine the flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine the HOT water and coconut oil. Allow the coconut oil to break up and melt some so that it will mix well with the flour. Once broken up and melty, add to the flour mixture. Combine JUST until the dough comes together. If it is too dry, add a bit more water.

Dust the counter with flour. Place the dough on it. Flip it, so that there is a bit of flour on each side. Gently roll the dough out to about 1" thick or so. Using a biscuit cutter, or glass, cut into biscuits and place on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Brush the top of each biscuit with some melted coconut oil and sprinkle with more sea salt, or sugar, if desired.

Bake for about 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.  Let stand a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
