Pull out two cast iron skillets (or a cookie sheet or 9x13 dish lined with parchment paper).
Grind your wheat berries (I usually mill a blend of hard white and kamut).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and cut it in with a pastry cutter (or your fingers) until the mix looks like coarse crumbs or wet sand with some chunks.
Gradually stir in the milk, just until the dough comes together. It should be sticky and shaggy.
Dump the dough onto a floured surface and gently press it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Fold the rectangle in half “hamburger-style” and rotate 90°. Repeat this fold and press process 3 more times (4 total folds)—this builds those flaky biscuit layers.
Press the dough one final time to ¾–1 inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a 3-inch cutter, glass, or even a knife (square biscuits totally work too!).
Place biscuits into your skillet or baking dish, touching slightly.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown on top.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
We love ours with gravy, as breakfast sandwiches (hello sausage + egg + cheese heaven), or alongside soup or roasted veggies for dinner.
