There’s something grounding about baking biscuits from scratch. The way the dough comes together with just a few humble ingredients, the soft resistance of Einkorn flour under your hands, and the buttery aroma that fills the kitchen—it’s a ritual that feels both nourishing and nostalgic.
These Einkorn biscuits are tender, flaky, and just lightly sweetened with honey. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or tucked beside a bowl of soup. And best of all, they embrace imperfection: a few lumps in the dough, uneven edges, golden tops brushed with melted butter. That’s where the magic lives.
🌾 Why Einkorn?
Einkorn flour has a gentle, nutty flavor and a soft texture that makes it ideal for rustic baking. It’s an ancient grain with a lower gluten content than modern wheat, which means it behaves a little differently—but in biscuits, that’s a gift. The dough stays tender, the crumb is delicate, and the flavor is subtly earthy.
My toddler loves them and I can serve them to her with a little butter and a sippy cup of milk and both of us are happy!
