Directions

Prep:
-
Preheat your oven to 475 F.
-
Mill the grains into fine flour.
-
Add the salt and baking powder to the flour and mix to combine.
Biscuit Method:
-
Cut cold, cubed butter into the flour using a pastry cutter, your hands, or the beater of your mixer. Stop when the fat is pea sized. This needs to be just right: Too big and you'll have big holes in your biscuits. Too small and the biscuits won't rise very high.
-
Add dry ingredients.
-
Add liquid a little at a time until the dough comes together as a sticky, mealy mixture.
-
Flour your board lightly, and place the dough onto your board.
-
Flatten the dough to the thickness you like (1/2" or so), and lightly flour the top of the dough.
Cutting the biscuits
-
Using a biscuit cutter or sharp knife, push down once but DO NOT TURN it.
-
Push or pull the cutter away slightly and remove the round from the cutter.
-
Repeat the cutting the biscuits steps until all dough is cut.
-
Bake on a baking sheet or baking stone, about 15 minutes or until golden brown. The internal done temperature for biscuits is 205 F.
