WHOLE-GRAIN SPELT AND CORNMEAL BISCUITS

Whole-Grain Spelt and Cornmeal Biscuits image

Gently pat the dough flat instead of rolling with a rolling pin: patting preserves all the pockets of fat needed for flaky biscuits; rolling pancakes them for small, dense pucks. Cutting the biscuits into squares rather than stamping out rounds solves two issues in one: squares mean no leftover scraps, which bake flatter when rerolled. You also entirely avoid the twisting motion of using a cutter that can also lead to flat biscuits. Spelt flour lends a deep nutty flavor to the biscuits and an extra dose of whole grains; cornmeal adds texture. You can use white whole-wheat flour if you can't find spelt.

Ingredients

11.25 ounces spelt flour (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 ounces whole-grain cornmeal (about 1/2 cup)
2 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk just until combined.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 2 to 3 times or until dough comes together. Pat dough into a 10- x 8-inch rectangle; cut into 16 squares. Place biscuits 2 inches apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned.

SPELT BISCUITS

I have made these biscuits for health nuts and non healthy eaters alike, but there are never leftovers. These are heavier on account of the spelt flour, but the nutty whole grain flavor is divine. Best when served fresh out of the oven, eaten with butter and honey or jam.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup white whole wheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup 1-percent milk

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.
