Einkorn Biscuits

Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 C whole grain einkorn flour
  • 11/2 C all-purpose einkorn flour
  • 4 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 Tbs sugar or sugar substitute
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 3/4 C frozen butter
  • 1 C buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 F.
  • Mix all dry ingredients together. Grate the frozen butter with a cheese grater and add it to the dry mixture. Stir the grated butter into the dry mixture.
  • Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour into the buttermilk. Stir until the flour is mostly incorporated, and then dump out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. There may be some extra flour at the bottom of the bowl, that is ok. It is very important not to over-mix the dough to ensure you have a flaky biscuit.
  • Cut the dough into 4 rough sections and press the sections all on top of each other. This will create layers within the biscuit. Roll the layered dough out to 3/4-1 1/2 inch thick. If you like height to your biscuits, roll it on the thicker side. Cut the dough into squares or use a floured cup to cut it into circles.
  • Place the biscuits onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment and bake immediately for 10-15 minutes or until the bottoms and corners are golden.
  • Feel free to use all whole grain flour in place of the all-purpose or all-purpose for the whole grain if desired. Both turn out great!
