Cheesy Biscuits made with Coconut Flour

I've adapted this recipe from Heavenly Homemaker's Coconut Flour Cheddar Drop Biscuits. It's a low carb and gluten free recipe. You can make it with either butter or bacon grease. These are fairly eggy, with a slight dried coconut texture and hint of coconut flavor that is barely noticeable. I've served the butter version to my parents and they loved them even though they aren't on any special diet. Mike is now infatuated with the bacon grease ones. This recipe can be halved (I doubled Heavenly Homemaker's recipe because Mike goes through these really fast). These goes really well with breakfast.

1/2 cup melted butter or bacon grease (really recommend bacon grease!)
2/3 cup coconut flour
8 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup mixed shredded cheese such as sharp cheddar and mozzarella (you can add more cheese if you like)

You can add other seasonings to these as well, like garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, or herbs.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit.
In a large bowl, whisk together everything but the cheese. Make sure there are no lumps. This will take a few minutes. It should look thoroughly blended. Then, with a spoon or your hands, mix in the cheese. Form batter into 12 biscuits, placing on a parchment lined baking sheet as you go. Bake for about 20 minutes or until starting to turn golden brown in spots. Enjoy!
