Strawberry & Coconut Cream Biscuits

This dish was inspired and adapted from both Judy Rodgers’ The Zuni Cafe Cookbook and Alice Medrich’s Flavor Flours. These are made using gluten-free flours and could be made plant-based by trying coconut yogurt in place of plain yogurt. Oklahoma’s Wagon Creek creamery offers the creamiest, most pure Greek yogurt I’ve yet to taste, made from 100% grass-fed dairy, so I wanted to feature it here.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups white rice flour
  • 1/2 cup, plus 2 Tablespoons oat flour
  • 2 teaspoons organic cane sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 tablespoon sea salt, a bit more if using kosher salt
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, I use canned for it’s similarity to heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup plain, full-fat yogurt, I used Wagon Creek

Preparation

Put the dry ingredients and yogurt in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment for 2 minutes on low speed — the dough should be very stiff. If it’s not yet stiff after 2 minutes, add 1 more minute of beating. Form the dough into a log that is 2 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, wrap it in plastic, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. When ready to cook, place a rack in the upper third part of the oven and preheat to 400°. Cut the log into 12 slices — about 1 inch each. Place the biscuits 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until browned on top and bottom. For dessert, split the biscuits and top the bottom half with a generous spoonful of Strawberry Fruit Cocktail — a drop of cream (dairy or coconut) would be nice. Crown with the top piece. For breakfast, serve with butter and strawberry jam or honey.
