<p></p>
<p>Preheat oven to 350.&nbsp; While preheating melt coconut oil 8 x8 baking&nbsp; pan.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
<p>Mix flour, baking powder, and only 2 small scoops of stevia&nbsp; and salt together for the dry ingredients.</p>
<p>Then mix the rice milk into flour.&nbsp; You may need to add a little more to get batter to where it </p>
<p>will be very thick but pour.&nbsp; Take the pan with the melted coconut from the oven and pour the flour</p>
<p>batter directly into oil.&nbsp; After the flour batter then pour your fruit mixture on top.&nbsp; Bake for 45 minutes.</p>
<p>or until the mixture is golden brown.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Old Fashion Gravy</strong></p>
<p>1 1/2   to 2 Tbs. olive oil</p>
<p>1 heaping Tablespoon  Unbleached white flour (Kroger Brand)</p>
<p>1/2 cup Rice milk to 1/2 cup water  making 1 cup or all rice milk</p>
<p>1/4 tsp of Rumsford baking powder (helps flour to brown and not stick)mix with flour</p>
<p>In a skillet heat oil to almost a boil, then sprinkle in the heaping tbspoon of</p>
<p>flour (already mixed with baking powder), stirring quickly to brown lightly</p>
<p>then pour milk mixture in slowly and stir</p>
<p>continuously until desired thickness.  Add salt  to taste.</p>
<p>Serve over or with biscuits.  See biscuit recipe below:</p>
<p><strong>Old Fashion Biscuits</strong></p>
<p>3 cups unbleached flour</p>
<p>2 level TBS of Rumsford Baking powder</p>
<p>1 to 2  teaspoons of sea salt (Rita uses 2)</p>
<p>1/2 cup Rice Milk and 1/2 cup water to make 1 cup</p>
<p>stir first 3 items together then</p>
<p>in the center of the flour mixture make a well with your fist</p>
<p>place 1/4 cup coconut oil (the thick kind) in the well and</p>
<p>work with your fingers into the flour until  oil and flour becomes</p>
<p>small beads.  Then pour enough milk mixture into the flour</p>
<p>mixture to make it  dough like and mix very little with hands or wist</p>
<p>then place on floured plastic</p>
<p>or saran wrap on the counter and pat out to about 1/4  inch thick</p>
<p>and cut with biscuit cutter or the edge of a glass.  Place on  lightly</p>
<p>greased baking pan or parchment paper.  Bake at 450 for around 15</p>
<p>minutes or until brown.   You can also make drop buscuits by adding</p>
<p>more liquid.  The taste is the same.</p>
