Signed up to bring meals to a friend, Travis, who is going through chemotherapy treatment. Please pray for him. Life is hard and small acts of kindness go a long way. Made him these biscuits to go with chicken noodle soup.
Travis’ baking powder biscuits
2c Flour
1T Baking powder
1t Salt
1T Brown sugar
1/4c Coconut oil
3/4c Milk
1t Garlic powder
1t Parsley
1t Thyme
Preheat oven to 425 and spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt into bowl. Add rest of ingredients all at once and mix until just combined. I start with a spoon to get the mix going and then use my hands to finish this off. Moving dough around to pick up all the loose flour left in the bowl.
Adjustment note: if the dough seems too sticky, like large chunks sticking to your finger, add a little more flour until you are able to mix the dough with your hands and none sticks.
Then tear apart the dough into 12 biscuits.
I divide the dough in half, then divide that in half again. This smaller piece of dough I tear into 3, roughly the same size, pieces. To tear those three pieces I hold the dough in one hand and squeeze out about 1/3 of the dough between my thumb and first finger. Then twist to remove that piece. Placing each piece into the muffin pan.
Bake 425 for 15 minutes.
Let these cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then you can move them to a cooling rack to cool all the way or just eat ‘em right away.
Please note this recipe was developed at high altitude, your baking time may vary.

* note when adding cheese about 1/2 cup works well but remember, if you love cheese just use more.
