I live at high altitude (4700 feet), but didn’t have to alter the proportions. I kneaded them 3-4 times, just enough to incorporate all the dry ingredients. I patted them to 3/4″ thick, cut them with my grandmother’s biscuit cutter (12 three-inch biscuits) and baked them exactly 20 min. They were a bit dry. I’ll add an extra 2 Tbsp. buttermilk next time.
Heads up: The white flour is more moist than wheat flour. Putting all the dry ingredients into the flour sifter at once clogs it up. Try sifting one cup at a time.
Is there a substitute for sugar?
We typically substitute sugar with sucanat. Although still a type of sugar, sucanat is a raw form of sugar that contains the original minerals and nutrients so it seems to be easier for the body to handle.
Stevia is also a great substitute for sugar. Stevia is also stronger than sugar, so use approx. 1/3 stevia for the sugar ratio (ie, 1 Tbs sugar = 1 tsp stevia).
Different brands or types of stevia may be different (granulated, powder, liquid) so you may need to experiment. This conversion would be using granules.
Hi
I have Celiac disease and have to be extremely careful. I find all gluten flours to be problematic. Would I benefit from einkorn flour? I am very nervous to try it as I have had many bad reactions. I basically don’t eat bread of any kind. If it would be worth a try, from where and how do I purchase it?
Cheers,
Joan
Hi Joan, you’ll need to consult with your doctor about whether you should try einkorn bread. I don’t know where you can buy the bread near by but you can order the whole grains here on our website.
Tried this recipe with the Einkorn Flour that we grounded up ourselves! Amazing! I actually do like this texture of biscuits and the taste isn’t bad at all. We added 3/4 cups of Tillamook Pepper Jack Natural Cheese to the mix and turned out really delicious!
Whenever, I need flour, I’ll just add Einkorn to the mix. In fact, I did add Einkorn Flour to a Fast Fish Fry and added seasonings that I liked. Turned out really, really well!
I just found einkorn flour and intend to switch over to it completely, no more white flour in my house. However, I’ve been making biscuits all my life so I just *have* to say that these are NOT the best biscuits I’ve ever tasted… those you get when you use White Lily Flour. It makes *THE* tenderest, flakiest, melt in your mouth biscuits you’ll EVER taste. That being said, I can live with these. I’d say they fall into the *pretty good, they’ll do” range.
I am reading wheat Belly by Dr. William Davis. I got your website from his book. How can I obtain Einkorn flour? Thank you
I found it at Fresh Market. After looking around the internet, I see they have it on some of the usual sites that have organic foods and supplements.
These look amazing! You have made me want to try einkorn!
This recipe took literally 8 min to make!
Delicious!!!

Correct me if I’m mistaken, the recipe said 1 cup baking powder (misprint) & you say to add the coconut oil & buttermilk…but the buttermilk is not listed in the recipe.
Thanks,
