Soaked? What does that mean? If you have heard or read about soaked, sprouted, or soured grains then you are probably familiar with why this is an important step in preparing grains. If not, I'll break this down for you. Traditional cultures all over the world have prepared grains this way. It breaks down the grain, so that your body can get the most nutrition out of it. Grains have varying amounts of phytic acid. This acid is protective to the grain but is also an anti-nutrient to us. It is an anti nutrient because it takes away necessary minerals from our bodies to break the acid down and get to the nutrition. This process also helps to digest if you are sensitive to gluten or wheat. If you want to get more into the science and cultural research, check out the Weston A. Price Foundation.
So back to soaking, it also enhances the flavor of the grain. So when I bake, I try to buy sprouted flour or soak the flour the night before that I need to make something. These biscuits are sturdy enough for a breakfast sandwich, and soft enough to enjoy by itself.
Let me know if you make them!
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups organic unbleached flour
5 TBS cold salted butter
1 tsp pink salt
3 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup organic cultured buttermilk
Directions:
Measure out flour, salt, and baking powder with butter Into a medium glass bowl. I like to mix these by hand. pressing the butter into the flour mixture with my fingertips. You can also use a food processor. You just want a crumbly texture and little beads of butter evenly distributed into the flour. Add the buttermilk And incorporate.
*This is just mixed with a spoon, then I mix with my hands to form the ball.
Mix and form a ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave on the counter overnight or for 12 hours. You can set it out for 24 hours, it will get really fluffy. But it minimally needs 12 hours.
In the morning, preheat the oven to 400. Uncover and roll the dough out into a rectangle. you should be able to get 4 large biscuits or 6 medium biscuits. I use the top of a cup or mason jar lids to cut my biscuits into circles. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and cook for 15-20 minutes on the middle rack.
ENJOY!
My father link doesn't have an link expensive or significant watch. When it comes to link telling time he is all about clarity, reliability, and utility. He is currently wearing a Casio that meets all those requirements perfectly. The time, day, and date are very visible and he gets all that information in one quick glance.
This stone also brings link with it a bit of historical significance. Legend has it that soldiers from the Roman Empire wore Tiger's Eye stones around their necks for protection in battle – and in the Middle Ages, it was used to ward off evil spirits. For Moser, the stone wards off boredom link – it's yet another step forward in dial design from the team that link brought you the watch made of Swiss cheese."
I did have some previous experience with Vacheron. On my now-famous first tour of the watchmaking capital, I had visited the store's boutique and swooned over the Overseas in 18-carat pink gold set with link 84 round-cut diamonds, as well as the more restrained Patrimony in white gold, and found the brand link intimidating, perhaps too much for a first visit. link Some weeks later I found myself in a hired car, speeding toward the factory in Plan-Les-Ouates.
Looking for a vintage Patek Calatrava that may fly under the radar? Sorry, I'm stuck on aviation all of a sudden. Well, lot 71, link an early ref. 570 with link a two-tone dial and long signature, could be the one to watch. Or if niche early Lange is your thing, check out lot 93, an 1815 Up/Down in platinum. This is link a reference I have been lusting over for years.
