Spelt Buttermilk Biscuits
Description
Spelt Buttermilk Biscuits use spelt flour mixed with baking powder, salt, and sugar for leavening and balance. Cold butter is cut into the flour to create a coarse, sandy texture before adding buttermilk, which adds moisture and tenderizes the dough. The dough is kneaded just enough to bring it together and rolled out to a 1-inch thickness for uniform biscuits. Baking at 450°F for about 10 to 12 minutes creates a light biscuit with a slightly crispy exterior.
The biscuits are versatile and can be enjoyed warm with a variety of spreads or alongside savory dishes. Their flaky texture and slight sweetness make them a good match for breakfast breakfasts or light dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 cups spelt flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup butter cut into small cubes, cold
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the butter and use your hands or a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand. Add the buttermilk and stir just until the flour and buttermilk comes together.Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead about 10-15 times, be careful not to over-knead or the biscuits won't rise properly and will be dense. Flatten the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit or round cookie cutter to cut biscuits out of the dough. Carefully bring the scraps together and cut biscuits out of the remaining dough.Bake the biscuits on a non-stick or lined cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy while warm.Makes six 3-inch biscuits
