Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Madhumbe flour stirred with a whisk first then spooned into measuring cup
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit- line baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Add madhumbe flour, baking powder and salt to a medium bowl, whisk to combine.

  3. Add butter to the flour mixture and cut in with a pastry cutter until butter is incorporated, even and resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Pour buttermilk to the flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir in buttermilk until dough comes together. Use the back of the spoon to press dough together until you have a nice dough. Then, using your hands, gently roll dough ball around the bowl to shape and gather all the dough/flour on the side of the bowl. The dough will initially seem sticky but will not stay that way.

  5. Lightly dust a piece of parchment paper and flatten dough slightly with the palm of your hands. Dust with a little bit more flour and cover with another piece of parchment paper.

  6. Roll out the out about 1" and use a biscuit cutter to cut out about 6 biscuits.

  7. Place in the oven - and bake for 18 minutes or until done. It is done when it has a nice golden colour on top and golden colour on the ridges on the sides.
