Recipe: Sprouted Whole Wheat Biscuits

“mmmmmm… biscuits.”

During my freshmen year of college, some of my favorite women met up at a local restaurant for breakfast. Each ordered a massive meal with things like pancakes, French toast, sausage, and eggs. When it came my turn to order I said, “I’ll just have a biscuit.” I didn’t think anything of it.

My friends would mock those words for a good five years. “I’ll just have a biscuit,” they would say in a silly, high-pitched, joking tone. For some reason they thought it was hilarious. I didn’t understand. I just really like biscuits.

I wasn’t dieting, trying to save money, or attempting to look “cool” by having such a small breakfast.

I just really, really like biscuits.

What’s not to love? They are warm and flaky. Smear some butter or honey (or both) and it’s just as comforting as snuggling next to a fire on a rainy day. In fact, during my pregnancy I only had one cravings the entire time. You guessed it: I wanted a biscuit like nothing I had ever wanted before. Within 20 minutes I had whipped up a fresh batch of delicious wheat biscuits for me and my baby. They must have been good because I didn’t have any other cravings. Ever.

But you know what’s even better than a warm, fresh-from-the-oven biscuit? I will tell you: A warm, fresh-from-the-oven SPROUTED biscuit using grass-fed butter, raw milk, and other real ingredients. Topped with some really raw honey (and a little more butter) and this biscuit goes beyond delicious–this kind of biscuit is good for you.

Lucky for you, I have a recipe for just that biscuit!

These really are one of my favorite things to bake, because once the craving hits I can easily have a wholesome biscuit in my hand in less than twenty minutes (and that’s including the baking and cleanup time). It’s so easy! I actually have the recipe memorized (and reduced) so that I can make 1 single biscuit on those nights when the husband is working late and I need some comfort and joy.

But for you, this recipe will make 8 – 12 biscuits, depending how big you like them.  I like them big.

Why sprouted?

Good question. Sprouted flour makes more of those whole grain nutrients available while also reducing anti-nutrients within the grain.

These biscuits are butter, flaky, and so delicious - plus healthy! Love this sprouted whole wheat biscuits recipe.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 13 minutes

Total Time 28 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat (or spelt) sprouted flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00655V2L0?&tag=tyb060c-20) preferably aluminum free
• ½ teaspoon real salt
• ¼ cup cold unsalted butter (preferably grass-fed)
• 1 cup milk (preferable raw)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450 and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper (or just grease it). Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. (A spoon or a whisk does the job well).
2. Cut the butter into pea-sized pieces. Cut them into the flour mixture. (You may just end up with pea-sized flour-covered pieces. It will work just fine, though. Promise.)
3. Pour in milk and gently mix with a spoon until combined. Then give it a couple of more stirs.
4. Drop by the spoonful onto prepared baking sheet. Gently press down the center of each biscuit slightly with the back of a spoon to ensure that the centers bake through. (You could also shape these and use biscuit cutters, but I would knead the dough a bit first.)
5. Cook in a 450 degree, preheated oven for 11 – 13 minutes or until golden brown and delicious.

Optional steps:

1. Smear on some butter and really raw honey and enjoy with a cold glass of raw milk.
2. Sit back and bask in glory of your day. After all, it's a good day when warm biscuits are to be had.
