Whole Grain Spelt And Cornmeal Biscuits Recipes

WHOLE-GRAIN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together both flours, the baking powder, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Work in the butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles small peas.
• Add the milk and stir until just incorporated. Gently knead into a ball, and then pat into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into twenty-four 1 1/2-inch squares and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each biscuit. Sprinkle an additional 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper on top.
• Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet and serve warm.

OAT AND WHOLE-GRAIN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor; pulse until the oats are finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Pour into a large bowl and form a well in the center. Gently stir in the buttermilk until the dough just comes together.
• Dust a work surface with flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface. Flatten the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter. Flatten and repeat from the other direction. Roll or pat out to a generous 3/4-inch thickness. Cut out rounds using a 2- to 3-inch biscuit cutter, rerolling and cutting the scraps. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 1/2 to 2 inches between the biscuits. Brush the tops with buttermilk.
• Bake the biscuits until risen and light golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
