I invented a new biscuit recipe a while back because most paleo biscuits are lame, either being grainy for the almond flour or tasting too strongly of coconut (though this is good for pastries). That weekend I specifically needed them to be nut-free, so I had to come up with another solution.

They looked and smelled delicious, but had some minor flaws, so I present them here with the updated version, correcting the inhibited rise and weird sponginess (due to it being my first time using guar gum).

Paleo Nut-Free Biscuits (Basics, Breads)

• 2 cups arrowroot powder
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 tbsp guar gum
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp honey
• 8 tbsp butter, cubed (or solid-state ghee)
• 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp garlic greens or other fresh herbs, chopped (optional)
• 1 cup coconut milk
