I’ve been meaning to post about these little biscuit sandwiches that I make Josh for lunch almost everyday. They change in flavor profile depending on the meat I use or the fermented veggies that go on it, but one constant is the drop biscuit recipe that I adapted from Roost.Â
I love these biscuits they are good with savory style snacks and sweet. To assemble a Josh style treat, start with yogurt cream cheese (recipe below), mustard, meat (optional of course), fermented veggies of your choosing and chow down.
I sometimes mix up the almond flour to have about 1 cup of natural almond flour and 1.5 cups of blanched, but it’s up to you. I buy my blanched almond flour from Honeyville. It’s so much cheaper and it’s a good product.

I added the chia, but reduced the honey by half. They are too sweet with the 1/4 cup of honey, but if you go lower then 1.5 T they get dry and fall apart. Just a little FYI.

April 26, 2012 at 2:08 PMWow. Desi, you are ruling with this. I've seriously "dropped" (ha) the ball with DIY kitchen projects lately. You're inspiring me to find some time for some kitchen chemistry. Was wondering about your fermented veg, like Colleen. Are the krauts you mention in NT? I have it on a shelf upstairs but am feeling lazy 🙂

April 26, 2012 at 2:14 PMThe basic recipe is in NT, but you can experiment with adding stuff. That's all I do. Some lemongrass here, some curry there. Sometimes I pull out the good ol' Flavor Bible and riff with that too.

Thanks 🙂

April 30, 2013 at 12:06 PMAre the chia seeds essential? What do they provide in terms of the flavor or texture of the biscuits? Chia seeds keep popping up in recipes I'm finding online lately and for some reason I feel resistant to using them. I just keep picturing chia pets! Please drop some knowledge on me. Also I want to know more about these fermented veggies you speak of!

April 30, 2013 at 12:08 PMYou don't have to use the chia seeds. They just make the texture a little more interesting. I like chia, but I understand your reservations, plus they are a little pricy.

July 17, 2013 at 2:17 PMNow that we have made at least one batch of these every week for the past ~6 weeks I thought I would come back and tell you that my entire family thinks you are a goddess now. We bow down to you and your biscuits!!!
