Coconut Oil Biscuits

Coconut Oil Biscuits



Method of Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Use a fork or pastry cutter to combine the flour mixture and Organic Coconut Oil until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the coconut milk and stir until a dough starts to form. Use your hands to incorporate into a ball. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll or press with your hands to 1/2-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits. Gather up remaining dough and repeat until you can’t make any more biscuits; yields about 12 biscuits. Transfer cut out biscuits to a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until biscuits have slightly risen and tops are starting to brown.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder

One Jar of Coconut Oil Equals 16 ...

One Jar of Coconut Oil Equals 16 Household Staples Across Three Rooms

Coconut Oil Benefits for Cooking, Beauty, and Childcare
As useful as WD40 and much more edible, coconut oil is a powerhouse. In fact, just one jar of the stuff can replace several household staples, from kitchen ingredients to baby wipes. Here’s how to substitute it for 16 total items in 3 rooms of the home:
1. Coffee: Coconut oil is a reputed energy booster. Swallowing a spoonful or two in the afternoon can be a healthful alternative to a cuppa.

2. Coffee creamer: Emulsified and poured into coffee, it’s much tastier than (and probably just as nutritious as) that bulletproof stuff.

3. Butter or oil (when sautéing): Coconut oil’s high smoke point makes it great for cooking on the stovetop, especially at high heat. Try swapping it in when making stir-fries, scrambled eggs, or pancakes, especially if you like a very mild coconut flavor.

4. Oil (when baking): The oil imparts a delicious je ne sais quoi to baked goods—even boxed ones. Use it to give from-the-box brownies an upgrade, and you’ll dream about them for days.

5. Condiments: Drop it into quinoa or oatmeal for added nutrients and healthy fats. You can also put it on top of sweet potatoes instead of butter!

Health and Science


• Coconut oil is 86.5% saturated fatty acid. 1

• 58.1% of the saturated fatty acids are medium chain fatty acids 1 which compose medium-chain-triglycerides (MCTs). 2

• Although the prevailing advice for the past 50 years has been to avoid and reduce saturated fat, recent studies show that certain types of saturated fat (like MCTs) can be beneficial to health.


- Firstly, a diet rich in MCTs has been shown to potentially "... reduce body weight and fat in individuals...more than the LCT [long chain triglyceride] diet." 5
- Secondly, MCTs result in a greater loss of adipose tissue (body fat) "...perhaps due to increased energy expenditure...observed with MCT intake" 6

• As part of a balanced diet, plus exercise, using coconut oil in the place of a selection of other fats or oils has been shown to promote a reduction in abdominal obesity. 3

Culinary


• Coconut oil can be used in most applications that call for oils, with the exception of deep frying. (Coconut oil has a low smoke point
of 350°F). 4

• With some recipe modifications, coconut oil can be used in place of butter in many baking applications. (the ratio isn't always 1:1 because butter is 85% fat and coconut oil is 100%).

• Try roasting your vegetables in coconut oil for southeast Asian dishes or to add a coconut flair to any meal.

• Pan fry the vegetables in coconut oil for Wildtree's Tikka Masala to add a little extra punch of flavor!

What Does Oil Pulling Do?

Multiple scientific studies show the efficacy of oil pulling therapy. One study shows that oil pulling with sesame oil can boost overall oral health. Specifically, using sesame oil as an oral health agent helps to reduce the amount of S. mutans (germ) count in both teeth plaque and mouth saliva. Scientists believe that the lipids in the oil both pull out bacteria, as well as stop bacterial from sticking to the walls of the oral cavity.+ continue reading the story here...
