Butter Drop Biscuits with Einkorn Flour

Ingredients

2 cups (240 g) jovial All-Purpose Einkorn Flour or 2½ cups (240 g) jovial Whole Wheat Einkorn Flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
8 tablespoons (113 g) cold unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch cubes, plus more for baking
¾ cup (180 g) cold whole milk
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt.
Work in the butter with your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and maple syrup. Add to the flour mixture and using a fork, mix until the flour is just absorbed.
Drop twelve 2 tablespoon mounds of dough onto a buttered baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Place a dab of butter on the top of each biscuit.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Let cool slightly before removing from the baking sheet. Serve warm or at room temperature.

So far we have made the morning glory scones, blueberry muffins and these drop biscuits and every single recipe has been fabulous!!! I plan to order the cookbook! Thank you for these! I have always purchased Jovial products because it is the best of the best but the flour I found hard to work with.....till now!!! I went to fresh market in my country town and guess what little flour was left on the shelf? Jovial APF and the WW flour- I bought them out!!! I plan on baking our way through this coronavirus pandemic! Just wish I could share my creations!

I absolutely adore this company and the products. I make these biscuits all the time, and everyone loooooves them! It takes work to blend in all the hard butter bits, but it comes out delicious because of this step, I believe. Would it be possible to make these with heavy cream instead of butter? I'm just thinking it would save time and maybe the end result would be similar, like the 2-ingredient biscuits made with only heavy cream and self-rising flour. Thanks so much for any help! And thank you for being a wonderful company.

Hi I love the buttermilk recipe, I've done drop biscuits following that one with goat milk kefir and letting it sit for awhile, can you tell me if you think I can do this recipe with coconut oil instead, and would I use a couple of tablespoons less or 1 for 1 to replace butter? I'd love to make these vegan friendly for others, thanks!

  While we have not tested this recipe with vegan ingredients, it should work fine!

In this recipe, you-all say to use more sprouted flour than the other kinds of einkorn flour. But then in your recipe for Einkorn Oatmeal Chocolate-Chip Coconut Macadamia Cookies, you say to use less sprouted einkorn flour than the other kinds!!

So . . . which is it??? I'm confused.

  If you are weighing your ingredients, these variations are very slim. For most recipes, the WW weight and the sprouted weight will be the same or very slightly different. These two whole grain flours weigh 96 grams per cup. The properties of absorption are slightly different, reflected in the recipes.

  All recipes are slightly different based on the type and what other ingredients are included (as they might have an impact on the final outcome) They have all been tested so follow as written for best results.

These are so good and so easy. I added small chunks of cheddar and sliced green onions. The chunks "leak" out while baking and form crispy, cheesy edges...yum! Popped them in the toaster oven next morning to serve with breakfast...heaven!

Hi I've made both these and the buttermilk biscuits and they turned out great! My question is, if I'm making a vegan version, (with recommended 5 tablespoons of coconut oil and 1&1/2 cup non-dairy milk with vinegar,)then do I still use 1 tablespoon of baking powder or can I use the 1&1/2 teaspoon in the buttermilk recipe?

  Use the 1 tablespoon.

Can this recipe be made the night before and baked in the morning?

  We haven't tried leaving this dough overnight. We'd recommend just mixing together the dry ingredients at night and adding the butter and rest of the wet ingredients in the morning. If you'd like to give it a try preparing the night before, you could try shaping the biscuits and freezing them overnight until you're ready to bake (you'll need to add a couple minutes to the baking time). If you try this let us know how they turn out!

Hello there! I would like to make this recipe. But do I have to use the cream of tartar? I would prefer not to use it. I have only found your recipe to make drop biscuits with whole grain einkorn flour.
Thank-you in advance for your reply!! June Gagnon

  You can leave the cream of tartar out and increase the baking powder just slightly (1/4 t)

I made these. They have a very nice texture and a wonderfully buttery flavor, and they're lovely to look at. Perfect with some raw buckwheat honey.

I used this recipe in a turkey pot pie with biscuits. Baked in 400 oven for 20 minutes. It was the best I have ever had.

How do I turn these into shortcake biscuits? Can I use buttermilk instead of milk?
1. jovial foods

  We recommend this recipe for shortcake: https://jovialfoods.com/recipes/einkorn-strawberry-shortcake/
  
  We do not recommend using buttermilk in place of the milk in this recipe.

The photos do not show a "buttered baking sheet." Is that parchment or waxed paper?
1. jovial foods
  
  July 31 2023 at 5:26 pm
  
  Correct, you can also use parchment paper, as shown above.

I just made these. They are delicious, however mine got really flat and didn’t hold it’s shape. Where did i go wrong?
1. jovial foods
  
  November 20 2023 at 4:01 pm
  
  Sorry to hear this Karen, it's hard to say what might have gone wrong! One thought that comes to mind is if the butter got too warm and melted quickly. Cold butter is important for the perfect texture in this recipe. Usually like to return our butter to the fridge to chill after cutting into cubes, especially if the kitchen is warm. But it could be a number of things! Please feel free to email is at [email protected] or call our office, 877 642 0644.

Hello! Is it possible to use a milk substitute in this recipe? (I have a diary allergy.) Will it change the chemistry of it? Any guidance would be so very appreciated!! :)
1. jovial foods
  
  December 11 2023 at 4:20 pm
  
  Yes, you can substitute 1:1 for soy, almond or oat milk. Please keep in mind these substitutions may alter the flavor and richness of the final product. We often have luck with soy milk as the closest substitution, flavor-wise.

Amazing! I have made these quite possibly 100 times. I use honey in them because the first time I didn't have maple syrup. I've made them that way ever since.
