Equipment

Ingredients 
 

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose einkorn flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon stevia
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk cold

Instructions 

  • Wash your hands with soap and water. Gather the equipment needed for making these easy buttermilk biscuits. This is an excellent time to introduce or review the buttons on the scale before getting started.
  • Use the kitchen scale to weigh the flour as you transfer it into a large bowl.
  • Use a measuring spoon to measure the baking powder, salt, and stevia for making these easy buttermilk biscuits.
  • Transfer the ingredients to a mixer. You can also use a pastry blender for this step. Add the butter. You can cut the butter into smaller chunks or cubes as you add it to the mixer. Turn the mixer on low and combine until the dough appears crumbly. Add the buttermilk and turn off the mixer when combined. Do not overmix the dough.
  • Turn the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the dough to a clean work surface. We use a large silicone baking mat. Add flour as needed. Kids can experiment with the dough by patting it to different heights or thicknesses before cutting it into rounds. Use a glass jar (or a biscuit cutter if you have one) to create the rounds. Kids can use their fingers or a butter knife to remove the excess dough and add it to the next round.
  • Transfer the rounds to a baking slab or baking sheet.
  • Place the baking slab in the oven. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly browned. Remove the baking slab from the oven and turn off the oven. Serve warm.

Notes

  • The same amount of sugar can be substituted for stevia
