Kamut Sweet Biscuits

Last week in Texas we had a lot of rain! Soup was definitely on the menu, but you can't have soup with out biscuits or some type of bread. Being that I had not made any bread this past week I decided biscuits would be a quick fix. Lately we have been using other grains instead of wheat, you can by Kamut in the bulk section of your grocery store, usely.... if not just use Wheat or even Spelt flour.

Everyone in our family loves these. Be sure to drizzle a little more honey on top, it just isn't quite sweet enough without it ;-)


Kamut Sweet Biscuits
Yields: 9-12 small biscuits


2 1/2 cups Kumut flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum( optional)
1/4 cup coconut oil, or butter very cold
1/2 cup almond milk or cows milk
1/4 cup honey

Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients. With a pastry blender or your hands work in coconut oil. Mix in honey and milk to make a soft dough. Knead gently 6 times. Pat out into a 1/2-3/4 inch thickness. Cut dough with a 2 inch biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet that has been greased with coconut oil. Bake for 10-15 minutes till golden brown on bottom. Serve warm with extra butter and honey.

just made these! They are really good but next time i will decrease the amount of honey and replace it with milk because the biscuits were a little too sweet! they were like cookies which is good but not for a biscuit.
Also, if you grind your own flour like I do, I suggest you let the dough rest for a half hour before baking. This gives the bran time to soak up the moisture and leads to a moister biscuit with none of the grittiness of the bran.
Thanks for the recipe. I'm always looking for more kamut recipes!

Thank you for the tips Julia!
We like our biscuits sweeter, so that explains the honey amount!
