Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole grain flour (we use GF flour)
  • 5 teaspoons baking powder (6 1/4 baking powder if using GF flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (1 1/4 if using GF flour)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk (or DIY vegan option--see above notes)
  • 3 tablespoons oil (I like to use coconut oil, melted)

Instructions

  • Add all dry ingredients to a bowl. Mix well.
  • Combine milk mixture (or buttermilk) and oil.
  • Add wets to dries and stir until just mixed and then beat another 10 strokes.
  • Drop large golf-ball sized balls of dough onto a baking stone or cookie sheet, at least 2" apart. 
  • Bake in a 425 degree preheated oven for 12 - 15 minutes until lightly-browned.

Notes

  • Gluten-free Baking Help: For help with baking gluten-free, see my Gluten-Free Baking Tips.
  • Baking Powder Alternative: If you would like to make your own baking powder, see Homemade Baking Powder. To avoid the starch, use 1 2/3 teaspoons baking soda and a splash more of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar instead of baking powder.
  • Buttermilk Alternative: To make your own buttermilk, put 1/8 cup lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (I use this organic option) in a measuring cup and add enough milk to make 2 cups. You can use any milk or milk alternative like Easiest Coconut Milk or Easiest Almond Milk)
