One of my favorite things to eat is a breakfast sandwich. And, in past years, I have come a long way from the McDonalds Sausage/Egg/Cheese McMuffin or Burger King Sausage/Egg/Cheese Crossanwich.
My first step toward a healthier breakfast sandwich was to start making them at home.
A friend of mine introduced me to white spelt buttermilk biscuits and I fell in love. These melt in your mouth and are just the best way to enjoy a breakfast sandwich (or any kind of jelly, etc.) in the morning. Now, I also use local cheese and pastured eggs to increase the nutrient content of my breakfast sandwich, but I am still a sucker for sausage. I do use turkey sausage sometimes, and I’ve also tried the breakfast sandwiches with other meats like turkey slices or chicken breasts. All combos are good, but they start with the scrumptious spelt buttermilk biscuit.
Here’s the recipe:
Spelt Buttermilk Biscuits
2 cups white spelt flour
1 tbsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
2 tsp sugar
½ tsp cream of tartar
¼ tsp salt
½ cup butter
¾ cup buttermilkPreheat oven to 450. Stir dry ingredients and cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Add buttermilk all at once and mix until dough clings together. On a floured surface, knead dough 10-12 times and roll to ½ inch thick. Cut into circles and bake 10-12 min.

That is one beautiful batch of biscuits! I’ve gotta try this. I wonder what they would be like made from einkorn.
Thanks for sharing!

Stan, that is very interesting! I had never heard of einkorn, but just checked out your site. Let me know if you try the biscuits from einkorn – I would be interested in hearing how they turn out!

Breakfast sandwiches are one of my favorite things to eat at home, too!! Your biscuits sound great! I’ve still to use spelt flour, but I’m really enjoying hearing more about it. Thank you for sharing this with the hearth and soul hop this week

Hi girlichef. I should probably mention that this is not just spelt flour, it is WHITE spelt flour. Apparently there is a difference, and I have never tried to make these with anything other than white spelt flour. And, this is as far as my spelt experience goes too
Thanks for hosting!
Dr. Laura
Wow, those look so perfectly fluffy and yummy. I’d be certain to load them up with my homemade sausage from pastured Tamworth pigs. Heaven! Thanks for sharing with the Hearth and Soul hop.

You know I haven’t even looked for a local source of pastured pigs for sausage, but that is a great idea! DUH! Thanks for hosting!
Dr. Laura
I am linking up late – I stopped by on Tues (I thought) and you didn’t have this up yet – so, better late than never right???
Anyhow, the spelt bisquits look delicious and I too am a sausage and egg mcmuffin fan – I haven’t tried making them at home, but I do have all the fresh ingredients! Thanks for sharing with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop!
Christy recently posted..Marthas Beer Bread
I think I got the link up late Christy – I am on the home stretch of reading the Bible in 90 Days, and much of my time this week has been doing just that! But, I SO appreciate you coming back to link up, and the Beer Bread looks amazing! And SO simple. I must try it. Wonder if it would have an overwhelming beer taste if I used a lighter beer, as I am not a big fan of beer
But, I’ve made beer bread in the past using sodas instead. Just thinking out loud and wondering if that would work?
Thanks again for stopping by and linking up. Next week I’ll do better of having it up on time

Yum! I love spelt flour but I don’t think I’ve ever only just used spelt in my baking. (I often combine flours, especially when a recipe calls for wheat flour). I am excited to try these. One of my favorite sandwiches is egg, cheese and avocado with thinly sliced zucchini rounds and cayenne pepper. Yum.

Hi Melodie,
I must admit that I often do not mix much of the flours, but really I should! I’ve never tried this recipe with anything but white spelt flour, but I would guess other combos would work out too! Thanks for stopping by and for hosting!

Hi Dr. Laura! Your spelt biscuits look buttery soft! I also adore breakfast sandwiches and usually make mine with pastured pork sausage or bacon and so thats good for you too! Thanks for sharing on the hearth and soul hop this week! I am linking up an older recipe for bacon wrapped cheesy eggs to keep in your theme of breakfast! Enjoy! Alex@amoderatelife

Alex, your bacon wrapped cheesy eggs look amazing! Thank you for sharing at Tasty Tuesday and for sharing the link in your Thoughts on Friday from the Middle of the Road @ AModerateLife.com. And back to the bacon wrapped cheesy eggs, my husband is going to go NUTS when I make these for him! Thanks for hosting hearth and soul too!

I just made these for dinner to go with potato leek soup. They were the best biscuits I’ve ever made and everyone loved them. Thank you! (Watch for your shout out next week!)
Melodie recently posted..Vegetarian Foodie Fridays 20
Awesome Melodie! And thanks in advance for the shout out! I am so glad that everyone loved the biscuits, and I really should make these more often for things that are not breakfast sandwiches. Thanks for the reminder that they go with many dishes – including what I am sure was an awesome potato leek soup!
Thanks for letting me know how they turned out for you!
