Notes

Tallow: If you do not have or do not use tallow, you could try melted coconut oil or red palm oil. The red palm oil would change the look of the biscuits to a light red color. If you want to use a liquid oil like avocado oil or olive oil, use the same amount of oil, but bake these in silicone muffin molds instead.

Daiya dairy-free cheddar cheese: can be purchased at any health food store, or here. If you do not have access to dairy-free cheese, you could likely replace this item with an equal amount of nutritional yeast and 2 teaspoons of gluten-free mustard. Also, if you are trying to eliminate coconut COMPLETELY, do not use Daiya as it contains a spot of coconut oil.

Jalapenos: These grain-free biscuits are delicious with jalapenos. Add them in if you like, they’re not too hot.
