Flakey Paleo Biscuits

These Flakey Paleo Biscuits are here to save the day!  When you bite into these, you will experience a crispy exterior, a warm & flakey center and a pop of miniature seeds that will bring flashbacks of bread from long ago.  Could these possibly be gluten free biscuits?  Yes, even grain and dairy free!

They are the perfect paleo biscuits and would be delighted to be accompanied by mashed potatoes and gluten free gravy.

These will be snatched off the table in the blink of an eye by hands large and small, only to be devoured in a flash!

These grain free biscuits are made with blanched almond flour, tapioca flour and potato starch and grain free xanthan gum.

Be sure to use Nutiva organic vegetable shortening for these paleo biscuits.  It is a blend of coconut and palm oil and gives these biscuits a buttery texture and taste.  If you do not have a dairy allergy, then by all means use butter!

I attempted about half a dozen biscuit combinations until I got the perfect texture and believe me when I say, these are the best paleo biscuits I have tasted!

This delightful paleo biscuit recipe is a sneak peak from my Paleo Baking Fall Recipes Ebook where you will find delicious Paleo/grain free recipes for the holidays.  There is a Cinnamon Sage Stuffing and Bread Pudding drowning in Caramel Sauce.

Oh, I could eat that Bread Pudding every day for breakfast!

A huge thank you to all who have already purchased my ebook!  You guys are awesome!  Please share your favorite recipes and comments below!  Any other recipes you would like to see on Nurture My Gut?  I am eager to hear from you!
