The wheat used in these blends is carefully grown in the Pacific Northwest by Shepherd’s Grain, a cooperative of small family farmers dedicated to sustainable agricultural practices. These farmers prioritize the health of their land and the quality of their crops, ensuring that every bag of White Lily flour reflects their commitment to excellence and environmental stewardship. What’s more, White Lily offers unparalleled transparency: on the back of each bag, you’ll find a unique code. This code can be entered into the White Lily website, allowing you to trace your flour directly back to the specific farmer who grew the wheat that was milled for that particular bag. This level of traceability not only builds trust but also connects consumers directly to the source of their food, fostering appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the farmers. To gain a deeper understanding of this commitment, you can read about my personal visit to a Shepherd’s Grain farm, where I witnessed firsthand the wheat cultivation process for White Lily, by clicking here.

Baking Bliss: Simple Steps for Perfect Drop Biscuits
Crafting these delectable biscuits is surprisingly simple, designed for maximum flavor with minimal effort. The process begins by combining the White Lily Wheat and Almond Flour Blend with a little sugar, baking powder, and salt in a spacious bowl. This dry mix forms the foundation for your tender biscuits. Next, cold butter, cut into small cubes, is “cut in” to the flour mixture. You can use a pastry cutter for this, or even just your fingertips, gently working the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-sized pieces of butter. This step is crucial for achieving that flaky, tender texture. Once the butter is incorporated, gradually add milk, starting with 3/4 cup, and stir until a slightly wet dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, don’t hesitate to add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency – moist but not sticky. For easy scooping, I recommend lightly spraying a small measuring cup (a 1/4 cup works perfectly) with cooking spray. Use this to scoop and gently drop uniform mounds of dough onto a prepared baking sheet. Before they hit the oven, a final touch elevates their flavor: drizzle a bit of melted butter over the tops of each biscuit, then generously sprinkle a mixture of sugar and ground cinnamon. This creates a delightful crust that caramelizes beautifully during baking. Pop them into a preheated oven for about 12 to 13 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and fragrant. The result? The most tender, delicious biscuits you’ll ever taste, so good you’ll want to eat them straight off the baking sheet!
