What you'll need

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together spelt flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Add chilled grass-fed butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until pea-sized crumbs form.
  4. Fold in grated organic cheddar cheese evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk and raw honey.
  6. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a flaky texture.
  7. Scoop the dough into 8 equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet, pressing down slightly to flatten.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits feel set.
  9. While the biscuits bake, stir together the melted butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley. Brush generously over the biscuits the moment they come out of the oven and serve warm.

FAQ

Why use spelt flour instead of regular wheat flour?

Spelt flour is often easier to digest than traditional wheat flour due to its lower gluten content, making it a more suitable option for those with sensitivities.

Can I substitute the grass-fed butter with another type of fat?

Yes, you can use coconut oil or ghee as substitutes, ensuring they are organic and minimally processed to maintain the integrity of the recipe.
