Instructions

Biscuits

• Grate the 8 tbsp Butter into a bowl and freeze in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Remove the butter and immediately cut in the 3 cup All-purpose einkorn flour, 1 1/2 tsp Pink himalayan salt and 3 tsp Baking powder with a pastry cutter. You can also use your hands.
• Mix in the 1 cup Buttermilk until combined.
• Pop in the refrigerator while you do the next steps.
• Flour your work surface and preheat the oven to 450.
• Pull the bowl out and roll the dough until 1/2 inch thick. Fold over and do the 5 times to get the “layers”. Roll out the final time to 3/4 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter and cut straight down. If you don’t have one a glass will do, but try not to twist too much. Cut into circles ( makes about 12). Place the biscuits on a lined parchment paper. Pop in the freezer for 5 minutes before placing in the hot oven.
• Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove.

Gravy

• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 16 oz all natural breakfast sausage. Chop into fine crumbles as it cooks.
• Once cooked through, sprinkle in 2 tbsp all purpose einkorn flour. Coat evenly
• Add in 2¼ cup organic whole milk. Stir frequently.
• Continue simmering and stirring until a thickened gravy has formed.
• Serve over the biscuits.

Notes

       Buttermilk Substitute

• If you don't have buttermilk you can add 1 TBSP white vinegar to the cup of milk. Let it sit together for 5 minutes and then stir. Add it in just like you would the buttermilk.

You can use store bought biscuits, or make the biscuits in advance and freeze.
