STRAWBERRY SPELT BISCUITS RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Oil 2 cookie sheets or line with parchment paper. Stir the apple cider vinegar and vanilla into the soy milk and set aside. This will make it curdle and thicken it. Please note that if you use another milk it may not curdle. Add the flours, sugar, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl and mix well. Then add in the solid coconut oil (chill it before hand if it's a short summer day.) Cut in the coconut oil with a pastry cutter or 2 large forks. You can also use your food processor. No matter what method you use you want the mixture to look similar to a course corn meal. Pour the soymilk mixture in the dry mixture with the strawberries and begin mixing with a wooden spoon. Spread some extra flour onto a large cutting board, then scrape the dough out and pat the dough about ½ inch thick. Use a cookie cutter or a jam-sized mason jar to cut out the biscuits. Place on the prepared cookie sheet. Gather up the leftover dough and pat in out again and cut out biscuits. Continue this process until all the dough is used. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the bottoms of the biscuits are a medium-brown.

SPELT BISCUITS

Steps:

• Mix together dry ingredients; cut in margarine.
• Add honey and milk; stir well.
• Turn out onto floured board and knead at least 10-15 times.

• Bake in oven pre-heated to 350ºF for 15-20 minutes or until brown.

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD AND CREAM

Steps:

• Using an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or an electric hand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolk, salt, vanilla seeds and orange blossom water, if using. Beat in flour until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Scrape the dough onto a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log, 1 1/2 inches in diameter. It will be very sticky, so use the plastic wrap to help form the log (or make two shorter logs if that's easier). Then wrap it up and chill until it's thoroughly cold, at least 3 hours (and up to 5 days).
• When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners.
• Unwrap the dough log and slice it into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheets and bake until the cookies are golden at the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be bake up to 4 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle strawberries with a little sugar and let them sit for 15 minutes to release their juices.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, or a whisk and elbow grease, whip the cream, adding a teaspoon or two of sugar, if you like. Note that the cookies are very sweet so you may not want to add any sugar at all.
• Spoon the strawberries into serving bowls and top with whipped cream. Drizzle cream with juices from the strawberry bowl. Tuck a cookie or two in each bowl and serve with spoons.

SPELT FLOUR BISCUITS- LIGHT AND FLUFFY AND FULL OF FLAVOR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In large mixing bowl, blend flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until dough is crumbly. Small pea sized pellets formed. Slowly add milk while mixing. The dough should pull away from sides of bowl. More milk if still to dry/crumbly, less milk if pasty.
• If adding other ingredients*, do so before adding milk.
• Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes depending on oven. Top will look golden brown and bottom edge is visibly brown as well.
• Remove from oven and serve with gravy, butter, jam, syrup, honey -- options are endless -- these are compatable with just about anything.
