Notes

  • If you don't have a biscuit cutter, can use a mason jar ring or even the jar itself to cut out the biscuits.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, using two butter knives and cutting the ghee in opposite directions would work as well. 
  • Soft white wheat is best, but hard white would work as well!
  • Not all ghee is created equal, be sure to check labels for your family's particular sensitivities. 
  • Can sub butter 1 for 1 for ghee.
  • The biscuits are best when made with buttermilk. For this recipe, I add a bit of plain non-dairy yogurt to the almond milk to give it that buttermilk-like tang. Can just use a total of 1 1/2 c of almond milk if no yogurt on hand. Inversely, can just use 1 1/2 c buttermilk as well.
