2 cups Otto's cassava flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter softened, at room temperature
1/2 cup half and half (we mix half raw milk with half raw cream)
2 egg whites
1 tbsp honey
2 1/2 tsp baking powder (homemade or grain-free)
1/2 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 tsp salt
Servings:
12
large biscuits

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450*.
Combine dry ingredients: cassava flour, baking powder, cream of tarter, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter until a crumbly dough has formed and there are no chunks of butter left.
Add the honey, cream, and buttermilk and mix until combined.
Whip the egg whites with a stand mixer or high-powered hand blender until they are thick and fluffy.
Using a rubber spatula, fold the whites into the dough until just a streak remains. Don't overmix biscuits or they'll become tough.
Using two spoons, scoop large spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing two inches apart.
Bake for 18-22 minutes. Remove when the tops have begun to brown.
