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 ½ inch thick. With a 1 ½ 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.
To make herbed biscuits add 1 teaspoon dried herbs of your choice to the dry ingredients before adding the milk.
To make buttermilk biscuits, use 1% fat buttermilk instead of the evaporated milk and substitute 2 teaspoon baking powder, mixed with ½ teaspoon baking soda for the baking powder.
To make oat-bran biscuits, substitute 1 cup oat bran for the rice bran and apple fiber.
