Yield Makes 40

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast coconut on a rimmed baking sheet in oven, stirring often, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Stir together flour, granulated sugar, coconut, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a stiff dough (about 5 tablespoons water total). Form the dough into a rectangle. Wrap dough in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Transfer dough on parchment to a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Cut dough into 40 small rectangles (about 1 1/4-by-2 1/2 inches each) using a sharp knife. Transfer biscuits to parchment-lined baking sheets using a thin spatula. Lightly brush tops with water. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until biscuits just turn golden brown, about 11 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

I love the fact that these biscuits are made with whole wheat flour. It makes them a healthier option than traditional biscuits.

These biscuits are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over from other recipes, so these biscuits are a great way to use them up.
