Atkins Biscuits Recipe

DIRECTIONS

Use the Atkins recipe to make Atkins Soy-Free Flour Mix for this recipe. You will need 2 1/2 cups to make 18 biscuits.

1. Preheat oven to 425°F degrees and place wrack in the top third of the oven.
2. Blend together flour mix, baking powder, sugar substitute and salt in a large mixing bowl.
3. Cut butter into small chunks and add to the dry ingredients, using a pastry blender or your fingertips to work until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Do not over-mix.
4. Pour in heavy cream and stir lightly. 
5. Coat cutting board with olive oil spray. Using a spatula, transfer the dough to a cutting board. Coat hands with oil spray and lightly knead dough a few times until blended. Do not over knead.
6. Pat out dough into a circle 1/2 - 3/4-inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter with a 2¼-inch diameter, form biscuits. Make an extra biscuit out of scraps instead of re-rolling the dough.
7. Place biscuits on a baking sheet coated with oil spray. Brush tops with melted butter, if desired.
8. Bake 12 - 11 minutes or until golden brown. Watch closely in the last few minutes to ensure they don't burn.
9. Remove biscuits from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
