Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup spelt flour (140g)
  • 1 cup soft white wheat flour (140g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 10 tbsp unsalted cold cutter cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup cold milk 125g
  • 1/4 cup honey 80g

Equipment

  • biscuit cutter
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 450° Fahrenheit
  2. Cut your butter into small cubes and place into the freezer for 5 minutes
  3. Mill your flour. Add it to a large bowl. Add in all the dry ingredients and mix
  4. Put your cold butter into the dry ingredients and mix in the butter using a pastry cutter. It should look like pea sized clumps.
  5. Put the milk and honey in a cup and stir. Then add it to the dry ingredients
  6. Stir until a shaggy dough forms. Place into the fridge for 15 minutes to allow the grains to soak up the liquid
  7. Before dumping the dough onto the counter use your hands to form a ball with the dough making sure all the flour is incorporated.
  8. Dump dough onto a floured surface
  9. Form into a circle and roll until about 3/4" thick. Using a bench scraper cut the dough into thirds and stack each piece on top of each other. Roll together until 3/4" thick.
  10. Using a 2" biscuit cutter cut your biscuits. Then take the scraps and bring them together and do it again until you have no dough left. Place your cut biscuits onto a parchment lined baking sheet
  11. Bake for 12-13 minutes. After baking brush the tops with butter if desired.

Notes

Make sure you keep the butter very cold or else these will flatten in the oven. If you forgot to preheat your oven keep the dough in the fridge until it's ready to go in.
