Drop the wheat and try these oat flour biscuits for something different!
These biscuits are a scrumptious addition to soups and stews and can be whipped up in mere minutes. Here we have moved away from the commonly used white wheat flour in a drop biscuit and replace the flour with an oat flour, making them high in whole grain fiber and gluten free. They are not, however, dairy free and are loaded with cheese, butter and milk, making them pretty irresistible, if you like cheese, that is, as I do! The original recipe I experimented with didn’t call for cheese or herbs but I lifted these up with both! I also added some homemade fermented Kefir instead of the called for whole milk which I think added to the flavour of these biscuits. Not everyone is going to have a fresh jar of Kefir in their fridge so I included it as an option but whole milk would be the go to.
