My latest biscuit experiment came out delicious!  The hubs said he really liked these.  I decided to see what a little Einkorn flour would bring to my new Buttermilk Biscuits recipe posted last week.  I’m pleased with the results!  The texture didn’t change dramatically, and they took a wee bit longer to cook, but I love the added buttermilk taste of these!  This recipe is not suitable until you reach the grains level of the Atkins carb re-introduction ladder.  With the addition of the Einkorn flour, these are certainly not my lowest carb biscuits.  So browse my other biscuit recipes if you are looking for a lower carb count. I have a number of them now. 🙂

INGREDIENTS:

1 3/4 c. CarbQuik bake mix

1/4 c. Einkorn flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1 T. egg white protein powder (optional rise booster)

1 tsp. glucomannan powder (or xanthan gum)

½ c. shredded Monterrey Jack cheese

1 egg, beaten (use 2 eggs if you omit the egg white protein above)

4 T. sour cream

4 T. melted butter

1 c. 2% buttermilk

DIRECTIONS:  Preheat oven to 425º.  Oil an ebilskiver or turnover pan, muffin pan, muffin-top pan, or parchment line a baking sheet.

Mix dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.  Stir in the cheese shreds.  In a small bowl, beat the egg, sour cream, butter and buttermilk together with a whisk.  Scrape the wet ingredients into the dry and mix/wold well with a rubber spatula to form a nice ball of dough that is mildly wet.  Form into eight equal portions, shaping them taller than flatter if using s sheet pan.  Place into oiled pan slots or equally spaced on your baking sheet.   Pop into 425º oven for 16-18 minutes. Watch them closely after the 12 minute mark, as ovens do vary.   Slice and butter or serve with jams of your choosing.
