Wheat and Honey

biscuit

1 cup flour ¾ tsp baking powder ¾ tsp baking soda ½ tsp ground allspice ½ tsp ground cardamom 1/8 tsp salt ¼ cup butter 1 egg ¾ cup plain yogurt, or sour cream, or a mixture 1 Tbsp honey 2 cups apples, core removed, diced small about ½ cup honey

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Stir together the dry ingredients. Cut in the butter. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, yogurt/sour cream, and honey. Gently stir the wet mixture and apple pieces into the dry mixture.

Grease a muffin tin. Spoon 1-2 tsp of honey into each cup. Spoon the batter into each cup, dividing evenly.

Bake for 15 minutes.

¾ cup cold buttermilk ¼ cup brown sugar 1 egg 2 cups flour ½ tsp salt 3 Tbsp cold butter ¾ cup oats cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375°. Combine the first three ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk until the egg is beaten.

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the oats. Add milk mixture, stirring just until moist.

Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until the dough is all together. Place on a baking sheet that is either greased, or lined with parchment. Form dough into an approximately ¾” thick, 9” circle. Cut dough into 12 wedges all the way through. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Bake until golden, 18-20 minutes. Serve warm.

2 ¾ cup flour 4 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 3 Tbsp Olive oil 3 Tbsp Coconut oil or butter 1 ½ cup milk

Preheat oven to 450° F.

Stir the flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut in the butter, or grate it & stir it in. Stir in the milk. For whole wheat flour, you might need 1 or 2 more Tbsp of milk. It should be a very soft, sticky dough. Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Makes 12.

Variations:

Reduce the salt to ½ tsp. Add a bit of honey or sugar, and other things like nuts, oats, and dried fruit to make scones.

Use olive oil instead of butter. Add 1 tsp rosemary and 1 tsp black pepper and roll out into thin pizza crusts (recipe is enough for 2 medium-large pizzas). It makes a nice crackery crust.

Make vegan by using coconut oil instead of butter and water instead of milk. The biscuits still turn out soft and fluffy.

Add ¾ cup of grated cheese.

+ Pear & Rosemary

2 cups flour ½ tsp salt ¼ cup butter ¾ cup apple, grated or finely chopped 3 Tbsp honey 1 cup sour cream 1 egg 1 tsp baking powder cinnamon and sugar

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Stir together flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in butter until crumbly and there's no more dry powder. Stir in apple, honey, sour cream and egg until combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease the sheet. Use a dough scoop to make round, small scones. Gently press down the tops of each scone to make them flat. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar.

Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until the bottoms of the scones are light brown.

Remove from oven, cool slightly on the sheet pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variation:

Use pears instead of apples, add ¼ tsp dried rosemary to dough, and exclude the cinnamon sugar.
