Biscuits are such a fun part of life! They bring forth childhood memories and serve as an invitation to gather around the breakfast table. As we learn more about nutrition, many of us steer clear of bread and biscuits. Luckily for us, our December 2022 Featured Chef Amy Slater has developed a nourishing biscuit recipe with gluten-free flour and grass-fed tallow and butter.
As a Functional Nutritionist and Movement Coach, Amy works with moms to sustain their energy and enhance their ability to participate with their children. This Drop Biscuit recipe supports a holistic lifestyle, encouraging tasty, fun family mealtimes. Give it a go!
