Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour and all-purpose flour. Add the powdered sugar and mix well.
Step 3: Incorporate the Butter
Add the softened butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4: Add Coconut
Stir in the desiccated coconut until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5: Bind the Dough
Gradually add milk to the mixture and mix until a soft dough forms. You may need to adjust the amount of milk based on the consistency of the dough.
Step 6: Shape the Biscuits
Take small portions of the dough and shape them into round biscuits. Place them onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each biscuit.
Step 7: Bake the Biscuits
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on the edges.
Step 8: Cool the Biscuits
Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Note 1: Storage
Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container to maintain freshness. They can last up to a week.
Note 2: Texture Adjustment
For a crisper biscuit, you can bake them a few extra minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning.
Note 3: Flavor Variations
Feel free to add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits to the dough for different flavors.
Note 4: Vegan Option
For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil or a plant-based butter and use a non-dairy milk.
