Step by Step Method

Step 1

Pre-Heat oven to 400 F about 205 C.

Step 2

Place Flour, Salt, Baking Powder and Shortening in a bowl.

Step 3

With finger tips rub shortening and flour mixture together (like when making biscuits, the flour and fat should form bread crumb like clumps).

Step 4

Add Coconut Milk slowly to crumbs like flour mixture and work with hands to make a dough.

Step 5

Add 2nd cup of Coconut Milk, just enough to make a soft dough. If dough feels stiff add a little more coconut milk.

Step 6

You are not making bread so do not over mix or knead.

Step 7

As soon as you have a nice soft dough roll it out into a long strip about 12 to 15 inches. Cut the rolled dough into 1 1/2″ to 2″ size pieces.

Step 8

Shape into round balls put on greased baking sheet.

Step 9

Flatten lightly with palm of hand and prick with a fork.

Step 10

Bake in hot oven until golden brown typically about 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 11

Serve with Dutch Gouda cheese.
