Curried Drop Biscuits With Beef

Last night we thoroughly enjoyed our savory stew after all that birthday food. After days of making stuff for our daughter's big day, it was time to make stuff for me. I was in the mood for something like bread, so I made some therapeutic biscuits. These are based on one of Bruce Fife's recipes.

Curried Drop Biscuits With Beef

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1/4 cup ghee, melted

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

1 2" turmeric root, peeled and grated (Or 1 teaspoon dried turmeric)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon coriander powder

3/8 teaspoon (1/4+1/8, that is) sea salt (if you don't like salty food, go down to 1/4 teaspoon)

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 cup precooked ground beef

1/3 cup sifted coconut flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Melt ghee in small frying pan. Pour out all but enough to fry the spices. Under low to medium heat fry the mustard with the cumin seeds until they just start to pop. Add grated turmeric and garlic, turn down heat, blend well. Add coriander, pepper and salt. Blend and take off heat. 

Blend together the eggs and the unspiced ghee. Slowly add the spice mix, very slowly if it's hot, whisking as you go. Add the baking powder to the coconut flour and add together, mixing well. Fold in the beef. Drop by spoonfuls onto a pan covered with parchment paper. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. 

These turned out especially well because the beef had all kinds of lovely vegetables in it, as well...
