Servings: approx. 1 dozen biscuits
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- 1 1/2 cups
all purpose einkorn flour
- 1 cup whole wheat einkorn flour [1]
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt [2]
- 1/3 cup cold
palm shortening [3],
butter [4] or
coconut oil
- 1 cup whole milk or coconut milk*
- 2 cups shredded cheese of choice (cheddar is recommended)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees ºF.
Whisk flours, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a bowl. Cut in shortening or butter until pieces are no smaller than pea-sized. Lightly mix cheese in.
Make a well and pour milk in. Stir a few times with a rubber spatula just until the flour is mostly moistened. It is very crucial not to over-mix. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface and knead 8-12 times. Pat dough out to approximately 1 inch thickness (or desired thickness) and cut with a biscuit cutter.
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until bottoms and edges are golden brown.
* For the freshest coconut milk make
homemade coconut milk [5]. (See video at this
