Homemade Flaky Buttermilk Rye Flour Biscuits Recipe
These flaky biscuits are made with 100% rye flour and are so delicious! They are also simple to make with a few tips and pointers!
Servings: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 3 cups rye flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons chilled butter
- 1 ⅔ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into ¼-inch pieces and add the cold butter to the flour mixture.
- With the pastry blender, cut the butter into pea-sized pieces, making sure they are distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
- Add the buttermilk and mix this in with the pastry blender as well.
- Knead the dough a couple of times until it all comes together, we don't want dry spots in the dough. Then press the dough into a 10x14 inch rectangle. Fold it into thirds, this layering or lamination will also give you flaky layers in the final biscuits.
- Cut into the shapes you want and place on the baking sheet pan. Move to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. The bottom of the biscuits will be browned and they will have risen.
- Remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute or 2 before serving.
