Method

Preheat the oven to 425°F. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. 

Cut in coconut oil with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. 

Stir in coconut milk just until a dough forms. 

Pat together and flatten on a lightly floured work surface to a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. 

Cut into 12 squares and arrange on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 1/2 inches apart. 

Bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. 

Cool slightly before serving.

Savory herb variation: Stir 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as chives, cilantro and/or parsley and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper into the flour mixture before cutting in coconut oil.

Sweet variation: Increase sugar to 2 tablespoons. Just before baking, brush biscuit tops with 1 tablespoon light coconut milk, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
