Hi,
I am going to post a recipe that "aberger" shared with me. I love these so much, they are so easy to make. They are also so filling and delicious, perfect with breakfast or added to any meal.
I am craving them right now, so I am going to make another batch of them tonight.
Spelt Biscuits:
2 cups spelt flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp butter
* 2/3 cup milk (or If you can't have milk, substitute water or chicken stock, and increase the amount of butter by about two tbsp:)
preheat oven to 450 stir together flour, baking powder, salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the *milk until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Pat out on a floured surface to about 1 inch thick. Cut the biscuits and place on a baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
I make these at least twice a week. I saw the post abot a month ago? The only difference is that I use Kamut flour since I dont care for Spelt flour.. These are a staple for me.
For us gluten-free girls... do you think this recipe would work with rice flour? I have never tried Kamut flour... ironically, I have some. They sound great!
Kamut also has gluten. I've made some version of a bisquit with rice flour and they serve their purpose even if they aren't amazingly delicious!
Thanks Deir:)
do work with rice flour! I have been thinking about these biscuits and how I could make them gluten free, so this morning I did. They were wonderful. My daughter ate two of them. I ate two with sausage, egg, and avocado. I made half a batch to make sure it would work. (I do that often just in case it doesn't work out with gluten free baking.) I subbed olive oil for the butter, and I subbed 3/4 c. brown rice flour and 1/4 c. sweet rice flour for 1 c. of spelt flour. I also added in 1/2 t. guar gum to give them some stability. (I asked Dr. B about guar gum for my gluten free baking, and she said it was okay, but it's probably good to check with her first. I try to rarely use it, but I thought these might need a touch.) I then subbed plain yogurt for the buttermilk.
Thank you for this recipe to whoever shared it!
Mrs A, what kind of sausage do you eat? I thought they all had nitrates in them. Do you make your own?
Yes, I do make my own sausage. It's really easy and so good. I use it in all kinds of recipes from soups to stews, to pasta and paninis. Here it is:
Turkey Sausage
1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 t. each salt, fennel, thyme
1/4 t. garlic powder & nutmeg
Shape into small patties and fry in olive oil on both sides until done. I am on list 3, and I tolerate these mild spices. But when I was on list 1, I used garlic powder, salt, and basil only. Still good!
Yes, these do work with rice flour and are delicious! Mine turned out to be more like a cookie because the flour does't stick together as well, so just rolled in balls and placed on cookie sheet. Yum!
These sound really good. I can't wait to try! :)
Decided to make these again, but added fresh blueberries. They turned out pretty darn well;)
I make them twice a week and just added blueberries this weekend to my diet with no pain so next time I make them, I will add blueberries! Let me tell you how HAPPY eating blueberries alone has made me. Oh, how I have missed them. : )
Why didn't I think of that? I bet it would be amazing with some ricotta or plain yogurt on top.
So happy you ladies are enjoying the biscuits. The recipe is courtesy of an old timer, NatalieL.
And experiment with adding herbs and cheeses to the biscuits as you can!
