It makes a moist and fluffy bread that works for sandwiches and toast. I either bake it in a small loaf pan or, lately, spread it in a rectangle on a silpat-lined sheet to the thickness that I want. I then cut in 12 equal squares and I have slices ready to go. With a loaf, so that the slices aren't too dinky, I cut the loaf in half width-wise then slice it length-wise in desired thickness.</p> <p>Coconut Flax Bread<br /> 1/2 c coconut flour<br /> 1/2 c ground flax<br /> 1 tsp baking soda<br /> 1/2 tsp salt<br /> 5 eggs<br /> 1/4 c kefir (or yogurt)<br /> 1/2 c coconut oil (or butter or grapeseed oil)</p> <p>Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients separately. Combine wet &amp; dry and let sit for a few minutes. Pour into greased loaf pan &amp; bake at 325 F (my oven is convection; if regular, try 350F) for 30-40 minutes. If using a silpat-lined sheet, bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.</p> <p>If you try this recipe, please let me know how it works for you. Thanks. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/classic-drop-biscuits#post-469 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 09:40:33 +0000 veg_rn 469@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I just tried the classic drop biscuits from Elana's book and was curious to know how they turned out for others. </p> <p>While they had a familiar "biscuit" aroma, the actual texture and taste was much closer to a cookie. I try to eat vegan most of the time so I did not use eggs but used the typical natural egg replacer (1 TB flax meal mixed with 3 TB water). I have used this replacement in many recipes with great results so I don't know if it was successful here.</p> <p>Anyone else make this recipe using real eggs? If so, what were your results? </p>
