Buckwheat Biscuits

By Zest for Baking

If you're a fan of tender, light textured biscuits, you will absolutely love these buckwheat biscuits.

They're straight buckwheat flour too - no starches or other flours included. Plus they've got the added bonus of being grain-free too.

From flavor to level of difficulty, this recipe is a true winner!  It's naturally gluten free and even grain free too (yes, buckwheat is actually a seed!)

why this recipe is the best?

You'll want to bring all ingredients (except butter) to room temperature. And weigh the flour and sour cream so it's the right amount.
