Instructions

Regular Dough Instructions:

1. Mix together tapioca starch, almond flour, baking powder, and salt with a whisk to work out any clumps.
2. Make a dent in the center of the mixture and add the eggs to it.
3. Continue mixing with a spatula or spoon until the mixture starts to form small clumps of dough. Do not add any water until you've kneaded with your hands in the next step!
4. At this point, knead the dough with your hands until you get a single smooth ball of dough. If needed, add water 1/2 tablespoon at a time. It's very easy to overdo the water so don't add too much.
5. Use dough in a recipe of your choice.

Biscuit Variation Instructions:

1. Mix together tapioca starch, almond flour, baking powder, and salt with a fork to work out any clumps.
2. Cut the cold dairy free butter into 1 Tbsp sized slices. Add to the dry ingredients and cut in using a pastry cutter or the tongs of a fork until you have pea sized clumps throughout.
3. Add eggs.
4. Gently knead the dough with your hands, being careful as to not overwork the dough - you want to preserve the butter clumps to achieve flaky biscuits. Your dough should be somewhat dry but still hold together without extra flour coming off. If absolutely needed, add water 1/2 tablespoon at a time. (You probably won't need more than 1/2 tablespoon. It's very easy to overdo the water so don't add too much.
5. Use dough in a recipe of your choice.
   Alternatively, if you're just making biscuits, follow the baking instructions in the next steps:
6. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
7. Separate dough into 8 equal sized pieces.
8. Fold each piece onto itself 3-4 times and press down into discs, being careful not to round off the edges. Rough edges allow the biscuits to rise higher and if they get sealed off from being molded into perfect circles or being cut with a blunt item such as a coffee cup, they will not get a good rise. If you prefer to roll out and cut your biscuits, make sure you use a very sharp biscuit cutter or knife.
9. Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 16-20 minutes. Note that these biscuits don't get very brown so check them around 16-20 minutes and be careful to not over-bake.
10. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing open and enjoy.
