BREADS: BISCUITS(click here to print)

BISCUITS



1/3 cup vital wheat gluten flour

1/4 cup  protein powder
1/4 cup whey protein powder
1 cup whole almond meal
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 ounce butter, soft
1 egg
6 tbs. light cream
2 tbs. almond meal

Put the first 6 ingredient in a medium bowl and mix well. Cut the utter into the dry mix in small chunks. Disperse butter evenly with pastry cutter  until crumbly. In separate bowl, stir together egg and cream.
continue by hand. Mix only until the dough barely sticks together. Too much kneading results in dry and less flaky biscuits.
   Sprinkle 1 tbs. of ground almonds on a cutting board or the countertop. Put the biscuit dough in a single slab on top of the nut. Sprinkle another tablespoon of ground almonds on top of the dough. Pat dough down to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut 10 biscuits with a 2 inch cutter. You can also shape the biscuits by hand. Grease a large cookie sheet. Use a spatula to lift the biscuits onto the cookie sheet. Bake for about 11 to 15 minutes until light golden.  Swerves 10;  5.1 carbs.
