    Whole Grain Buttermilk Biscuits

    Posted: Mar 16, 2010 · Updated: Oct 21, 2020 by Jenny McGruther · This site earns income from ads, affiliate links, and sponsorships.

    Whole grain buttermilk biscuits are a rare treat in our home.  We begin most mornings with a breakfast of pastured eggs and wilted greens. Occasionally, just occasionally, I find the time to prepare whole grain buttermilk biscuits as a special treat.

    Whole Grain Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe

    If you’re using freshly ground flour, you need only soak the dough for a few hours though you can certainly soak it longer, by choice if not necessity. This recipe produces a classic buttermilk recipe with a tender crumb and is best served with fresh butter and wildflower honey or jam.

    Ingredients

    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose einkorn flour
    • ½ cup butter
    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon finely ground real salt

    Instructions

    • Sift the whole grain flour before combining it with cold butter or pastured lard in the basin of a mixer.
    • Mix the fat and flour together until it resembles the texture of cornmeal, then stir in the freshly cultured buttermilk and combine together until the flour, fat and buttermilk form a thick dough.
    • Allow this dough to sit, covered, in a warm spot in your kitchen for at least two hours (if using freshly ground or sprouted grain flour) or overnight if using store-bought flour.
    • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Once the oven is preheated, knead baking soda and unrefined sea salt into the dough.
    • Flour your hands and gently form the biscuits either by rolling them out and cutting them out with a biscuit cutter or roll dr op them, as I prefer to do, straight from the mixing bowl onto a baking sheet or preheated baking stone.
    • Bake the biscuits at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for about ten to fifteen minutes, or until they puff up and become a golden brown color.
