Ingredients:





     1 c  All-purpose flour


   1/2 c  Apple fiber


     1 tb Baking Powder


   1/4 ts Salt


   1/2 c  Rice bran


   3/4 c  Evaporated skim milk






 From the 8 Week Cholesterol Cure Cookbook. Tastes best right out of the


 oven.


 


 Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking


 powder, rice bran, apple fiber, and salt. Or you could do this in a food


 processor.  Add milk all at once and stir until ingredients are just


 combined; if you are doing this in a food processor, pulse the machine a


 few times just until dough is combined. If the dough seems a little dry,


 sprinkle on a tablespoon of water and work it in.


 


 With lightly floured hands, knead the dough for 30 seconds.  Then pat and


 push it out until it is 1/2 inch thick.  With a 1 1/2 inch biscuit cutter,


 cut the dough into about 18 rounds.  Set rounds on an ungreased baking


 sheet.  Bake for 16 minutes or until cooked through.


 


 VARIATIONS:  To make herbed bisuits, add 1 tsp dried herbs of your choice


 to the dry ingredients, before adding the milk.


 


 To make buttermilk bisbuits, use 1% fat buttermilk instead of the


 evaporated milk and substitute 2 tsp baking powder, mixed with 1/2 tsp


 baking soda, for the baking powder.


 


 To make oat-bran biscuits, substitute 1 cup oat bran for the rice bran and


 apple fiber.
