The Best Tallow Gluten-Free Biscuits

Going gluten-free there is always the detox from bread and the ever-long search for the best replacements. Being gluten-free now for over 6 years I have tried a LOT of gluten-free “bread” replacements and some have been ok some good, and a very few a real win. This is one that is in the WIN category.

These biscuits are gluten-free, sugar-free, and Paleo. Though, honestly, I eat what I call an ancestorial diet more than anything else (aka what our ancestors ate) with a few “modern” exceptions lol.

You may be thinking “tallow” what the heck is that? Well, my friend tallow is the secret ingredient to this biscuit recipe. You can totally substitute it with grass-fed butter or ghee…..but trust me it is just not the same but in a pinch, they will due.

What is tallow and why it makes these biscuits so GOOD

So what is tallow? Grass-Fed Grass-Finished Tallow is simply beef suet (fat) that has been rendered down. Very similar to lard, which is rendered down pork fat. Tallow is LOADED and I do mean LOADED with health benefits!

Click here to read all about the health benefits of Tallow and why it was one of the most coveted parts of any harvested animal for thousands of years up until about the last 100 years or so when “fat” became a dirty word and demonized in our culture.

This started back in around the 1940 and 50s when a doctor, with absolutely no evidence, convinced Americans that fat was causing the heart conditions they were starting to see run rapid….. spoiler alert it was and still is from sugar.

Somehow this doctor’s opinion became fact and thus launched the “fat-free” era. Not even a decade later after removing good healthy fats from the American diet started the domino effect of the health pandemic we see today.

Tallow from Grass-Fed Grass-Finished cows contains all kinds of amazing health benefits like:

If you have ever visited my blog before you know that I used food as medicine and clean nontoxic living to heal my autoimmune system naturally (despite doctors saying it was impossible).

Sharing in every recipe health facts is kind of like a “cliff notes” version to sum up my last almost decade of research in healing my body in hopes these nuggets will stick with you and help you and your family use food as a medicine too!

Gluten-Free Tallow Biscuit Recipe…..

These are honestly SO easy and a great base recipe. They could be made sweet, like in paleo monkey bread. Served as a good old fashion breakfast biscuit, or could be made into something like garlic bread for dinners.

The sky is the limit (comment below any amazing recipes you come up with using this as your base recipe….I would love to try them)!

What you will need:

• Tallow (Butter or Ghee will work if that is all you have)
• Grass-Fed Butter or Ghee
• Egg
• Coconut Flour
• Sea Salt
• Tapioca Flour
• Water

Garlic powder & Italian Seasoning if you are going for the garlic bread version. Monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon, or honey or maple syrup if you are going for the sweeter versions. Or a homemade chia seed jam would be great too (store bough is LOADED with sugar you want to stay clear of those).

For mixing a food processor works best (or quickest), but a good ol’ fashion hand mixing will work too.

Preheat your oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
