Soaked Buttermilk Biscuits

Recipe Description:

These biscuits are family favorites; each time I serve them, my husband declares they’re the best biscuits ever. A declaration like that is worth its weight in gold!

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 8 Minutes

Servings: 12

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

6 to 8 tablespoons cold butter or solid coconut oil

2-1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or 2-3/4 cups spelt flour (cannot be warm from grinding)

3/4 cup+ buttermilk (preferably whole milk buttermilk with active cultures)

3/4 teaspoon sea salt

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Recipe Instructions:

Cut fat into flour. Mix with buttermilk to a dough that is just wet enough to hold together. Don’t overmix. Cover. Let soak for 8 to 12 hours at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Sprinkle on leavenings and salt, and fold over repeatedly to incorporate, without overmixing. Flour a cutting surface. Roll dough out to a 3/4” thick rectangle. Cut into squares. Put on baking trays. Bake for 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with butter.
