the yeast is bubbly, at least 5 minutes
- Sift the flours, baking powder,
baking soda, and salt together into a medium sized bowl
- Cut the butter
into 1/2 inch pieces
- Use the fingers and thumb of each hand to rub in the
pieces of butter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal
- Be sure to
lift your hands out of the bowl while simultaneously using your thumbs to
rub the flour and butter across your fingers
- Make a well in the centre
- In
a small bowl, combine the buttermilk with the remaining 1 tablespoon fruit
sweetener and the activated yeast
- Pour them into the centre of the dry
ingredients
- Form a rough dough, mixing quickly and gently with your hands.
Cover the bowl with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour
- Preheat the oven to
375 degrees, line a baking pan with baking paper
- Remove from the
refrigerator that portion of the dough you want to make into biscuits and
knead it until smooth, 10-15 kneads
- Roll the dough out 3/4 inch thick.
With a lightly floured cutter, cut out 2-3 inch biscuits
- Place the
biscuits on the prepared pan and bake until golden brown, about 15-20
