Buttermilk Biscuits with Flax, Turmeric & Pepper

This traditional buttermilk biscuit recipe is enhanced with ground flax seed, turmeric and freshly ground pepper. Curcumin in turmeric has molecules with the ability to interfere with the growth of certain types of cancer cells but it needs to be stabilized in oil before it can be absorbed by the body. The ground pepper allows the turmeric to be more readily absorbed into the body! Flax seed adds omega-3 and texture. The yellow colour adds interest to the plate. Consider cutting dough into different shapes (hearts, stars, squares). Rather than re-rolling the scraps, form them into fun shapes and bake. Freeze shapes uncooked on a baking tray until solid then transfer to a freezer container, this allows you to have biscuits on demand. Bake for only 1-2 minutes longer from frozen.
