Coconut Flour Gluten Free Low Carb Southern Style Buttermilk Biscuit for one

I was born and raised in the south the land of buttermilk biscuits, grits, corn pudding, and other amazing foods. I moved to Pennsylvania at the age of 19. They didn’t have anything quite like southern cooking up there. I was introduced to a whole new style of cooking with more Italian and polish flavors. I am not here to talk about northern favorites, though. That will be a whole different post. I’m here to talk about southern style buttermilk melt in your mouth biscuits. When I was diagnosed Celiac I was afraid I would never eat a real biscuit again. I tried Bisquik Gluten Free and did not like it at all. I gave up at that point thinking that was my only option. It wasn’t until I discovered coconut flour that I found one that works. This is a much lower calorie biscuit than a traditional southern buttermilk, but it packs a ton of flavor. I have a hard time eating just one of anything especially when it comes to baked goods. That is why I came up with this wonderful single serving version. I use it for sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, and buttered with soups. It as versatile as it is delicious. I made this one savory by adding onion powder. If you would like it to work for PBJ or strawberry shortcake leave out the onion powder for the same results.

Hey Cool! This is one of the featured posts on Vegetarian Mamma’s site this week. Way to go! 🙂
I wonder if you could bake this muffin? My husband likes biscuits and gravy but likes his biscuits crunchy. Also, could you use coconut milk for the buttermilk? I can’t handle dairy.
