The World's Best Biscuits (Masa and Avocado)



I know it seems that I'm gassing myself up a bit - but hey, I would say that this recipe is pretty darn good. Not only is it cheap - it is lower in fat than most of my non-raw pastry recipes and contains no wheat. Instead, the main components of these biscuits are simply the last of the masa I had in the fridge, avocado, coconut oil and cumin (plus a bit of salt). The stew that it accompanies is extremely simple (thus no recipe) and simply has corn, salsa, a jalapeno, a handful of lentils and bulgur, dry-cooked bell peppers, onions and garlic plus sodium-free taco seasoning.



(Masa and Avocado Biscuit Ingredients)

  • 4 tbl of Coconut Oil (cold)
  • 1/2 Avocado (mashed with ACV and salt)
  • 2 cups of Masa/Corn Flour
  • 1/2 tsp of Baking Powder
  • 1/2 cup of Organic Non-Dairy Milk
  • Liberal sprinkle of Cumin

(Directions)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Mash your fats together and in a separate bowl combine your flour and baking powder.
  • Knead lightly, roll out and then cut rounds out for the biscuits, sprinkle liberally with cumin and place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes until the biscuits look solidified then turn the heat up to 400 degrees. Bake until the ends have crisped and everything has turned golden brown.
  • Enjoy!
