Ingredients

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (340g) (we use einkorn)
1 tbsp baking powder (we use homemade)
1 tbsp honey or sugar
1/2 tsp salt
5 tbsp cold butter, sliced
1 cup milk (you may not need all of it)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°
Combine dry ingredients, either in a mixer or by hand. If using liquid sweetener, add during the next step.
Add butter slices to dry mix, cut in until mix resembles coarse crumble. If using a mixer, mix on low unti lthe butter is cut in - be careful not to over mix.
Add milk and mix until a shaggy dough forms. You may not need all the milk, depending on the type of flour you are using.
Scrap dough onto a well flour surface. Flour dough and form into a ball. Keep all sides of dough floured while working.
Press or roll dough into a 1 inch high disc. Fold dough in half lengthwise, then in half sideways so that it is folded in quarters.
Roll dough into a 1 inch high disc and cut with a glass or biscuit cutter. I use this 3" biscuit cutter.
Place on a parchment lined tray and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

Storing Your Homemade Biscuits

These biscuits likely won’t be around very long, but if they are, here are a few ideas for storing them!

In a plastic bag on the counter. They will keep this way for 3-5 days.
In a bag in the fridge. This will keep them fresh for about 7-10 days.
In the freezer after baking. To reheat, just place in a cold oven and set it to 350°. Once the oven is pre-heated, check the biscuits as they will likely be warm and ready to eat!
In the freezer BEFORE baking. Once you have the biscuits rolled and cut, place them on a lined tray and freeze. After freezing, remove them from the tray and place them in a bag in the freezer. To bake, just follow the same instructions as if they were fresh!
