Call me a later-bloomer to what’s hot n’ happening in the grain-free world if you must, but I ~just~ bought tapioca flour for the first time after experimenting with gluten-free/paleo baking for going on 3 years. I’ve always figured it was hard to find or really expensive. That’s just not my jam! I recently started noticing more stores around my area carrying tapioca (aka yucca or cassava) flour and the price is actually really low — I want to say I paid about $3 for a pound of Bob’s Red Mill Tapioca Flour at my local co-op.

So, that’s how we got here to soft, paleo and grain-free biscuits.

I like to think that growing up in North Carolina, biscuits are a necessary part of life. I’ve had classic buttermilk biscuits a handful of times over the last few years and man, nothing beats a warm, buttery biscuits. Amiright? You better believe that soon I will be making these biscuits and smothering them in some sausage gravy. *drool*

Hope you enjoy!
