🧂 Ingredients

2 cups organic all purpose, unbleached spelt flour

also known as white spelt flour or organic, all purpose flour
2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp organic sugar
1/2 cup cold butter
3/4 cup cold buttermilk

1 Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment
paper and set aside.
2 In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut the
butter into the dry ingredients using a small knife. With a pastry blender or
large fork, incorporate the butter until the mixture has some small and some
larger pieces of butter.
3 Pour in the buttermilk a little at a time and continue to mix with a fork until
the dough comes together. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and gently
and briefly pack it together with your hands. Flour the top of the dough and pat
it out with your hands until 1/2 inch thick. Cut with a circular biscuit cutter
or cookie cutter. Arrange on baking sheet approximately 1 inch apart. Press the
remaining dough together and repeat rolling and cutting.
4 Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve while still warm.
