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.
