'Buttermilk' Kefir Biscuits with Summer Berry Compote

Ingredients

Ingredients for the Biscuits

  • 2 cups flour
  • ¾ cup Lifeway Plain Kefir
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter very cold

Ingredients for the Berry Compote

  • 2 TBS butter
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup chopped strawberries
  • ¾ cup blueberries

Instructions

Directions for Biscuits

  1. 1. 12 to 24 hours prior to making biscuits, mix the flour and kefir together. Cover and place in fridge.
  2. 2. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  3. 3. Cut the butter into small chunks and then work it into the flour/kefir mixture along with the baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Do not over-mix. I used my food processor for this step, pulsing 5 times or so).
  4. 4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board. Gently pat the dough to 1 inch thick.
  5. 5. Use a round cutter to cut out the biscuits and place onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper.
  6. 6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.

Directions for berry compote (make while biscuits are baking)

  1. 1. In a small saucepan over low heat, add butter and brown sugar. Let the butter melt and stir to dissolve the sugar.
  2. 2. Add the strawberries and blueberries and stir gently-increase heat to medium-low. Let simmer for about 6-8 minutes (while biscuits are cooking), stirring occasionally.
  3. Once biscuits are done baking, remove from oven. Let cool a few minutes, then break each biscuit in half, and spoon compote over each side of the biscuit. Enjoy!
