Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 10
Ingredients
  • 2¼ cups freshly milled flour (plus ½ cup more if dough is too wet- I use hard white wheat)
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon raw sugar, sucanat, or other substitute
  • ¾ teaspoon real salt
  • ¼ cup butter (cut into small pieces)
  • 1 cup milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in medium bowl.
  3. Cut butter into flour mixture using fork, knife, or pastry blender.
  4. Add milk and stir. If your batter is still very sticky at this point you may need to add up to ½ cup flour.
  5. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead (about 10-15 turns, don't over-knead).
  6. Roll the dough out into a ¾ inch thick round.
  7. Cut dough with a cup or biscuit cutter and arrange on a greased baking sheet.
  8. Bake in preheated oven until brown (10-12 minutes).
  9. Remove from pan immediately and serve warm.
