Spelt Biscuits
- 2 cups white spelt flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, plus more for brushing
- 3/4 cup hot water
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour the oil and hot water into the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula until fully combined and a dough is formed.
- If the batter is dry, add more hot water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the dough is sticky.
- Dust the counter with spelt flour.
- Place the dough on the prepared surface and drag it through the flour.
- Pat the dough gently until it is 1 inch thick.
- Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out biscuits and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 inch between the biscuits so they can spread.
- Brush each with oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake the biscuits on the center rack for 8 minutes, rotating the sheet 180 degrees after 4 minutes.
- The finished biscuits will have a golden, flaky crust.
- Let the biscuits stand on the sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
- Cool completely and store in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 2 days.
