Golden Flax Biscuits (p. 11)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice
• 1 tablespoon yeast
• 1/2 cup golden or brown flax seed (golden flax seed makes pretty biscuits)
• 2/3 cup quick or rolled oats
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 2/3 cups whole wheat, spelt or kamut flour

Directions

Combine first three ingredients in a mixing bowl and let sit about 5-8 minutes, until yeast bubbles. Blend oats to make a coarse flour. Grind flax to a coarse powder in a blender or coffee grinder. Combine all ingredients and stir 1-2 minutes to develop gluten in the flour. Oil a 1/8 cup or 1/4 cup measuring cup and fill with dough. Drop the dough onto an oiled cookie sheet. Let rise 5 minutes. Bake at 350˚ for 30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden in color.

Yield: 12 biscuits, when measured in 1/4 cup portions. Each has about two teaspoons flax. 1-2 tablespoons of flax daily is recommended.
