Delicious Buttery Flaky Fresh Milled Biscuits
If you are looking for the most delicious, flaky and buttery fresh milled biscuit then you have come to the right place. It may have taken me months to get this biscuit recipe just right, but let me tell you, it does not disappoint! Using fresh milled flour in biscuit dough can be tricky, but I'm here to tell you that you can mill your own flour and have nicely risen and flaky biscuits.
Ingredients
- 3 cups finely milled kamut einkorn or soft white wheat(hard white wheat will work too)
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons of COLD butter grated with cheese grater
- 1 cup buttermilk if you don't have buttermilk on hand, add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to plain milk and allow to curdle for 5 minutes before using
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Combine dry ingredients in large bowl.
- Grate in cold butter and mix with your hands until the butter is covered in flour and resembles coarse sand. Rub the flour and butter mixture between your hands to fully incorporate.
- Add buttermilk to the dry ingredients and mix until combine.
- Turn out onto floured surface and knead a few times. With a rolling pin, roll out to about 1/2" thick and cut the dough in half. Place one half of the dough over top of the other half and use a rolling pin to gently roll the two together, but don't flatten them too much.
- Using a sharp biscuit cutter, cut your biscuits and place directly on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. If you wish, you can brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
