Is millet flour healthy?

Millet flour has many healthy benefits. It is a great source of calcium, iron and zinc. It is a gluten free grain that is a good source of fiber and protein. Be sure when you purchase your millet flour that it has the gluten free label. Although millet itself is gluten free you need to be sure it was processed in a gluten free facility.

Can millet flour be used for baking?

Yes! It's fantastic for sweet or savory baking. Millet flour has a mild, nutty flavor. I prefer the Arrowhead Millet Flour that is organic and certified gluten free. I've found the best price for the Arrowhead Millet Flour is through Thrive Market.

What is millet flour made from?

Millet flour is made from grinding millet seeds into a powder. It is important to note that millet flour is gluten free, but it is a grain. If you are on a grain-free diet millet flour won't work for you. But, if you are simply gluten free, then this flour is a great alternative.

Is millet gluten free?

Yes! Millet is a seed that is naturally gluten free. However, it is always important with grains to make sure the package is marked gluten free. The millet you are using could be processed with wheat, barley or other gluten grains and be contaminated.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl stir together the millet flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthum gum and sea salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer blend together the butter, buttermilk, eggs and honey. When these ingredients are combined add the dry ingredients. Mix until a wet dough forms.

The dough is going to be sticky. To work with the dough wet your hands first. You will want either a bowl of water to dip your hands in or to be near running water.

Form 6 large or 12 regular sized biscuits and drop onto the lined baking sheet. The biscuits will spread some, so leave a bit of room around each.

Bake for 10-18 minutes. The biscuits will be golden brown when done.

I like to serve the biscuits immediately while they are still warm.

Notes

To get your buttermilk to room temp place it in a glass microwave safe container and heat for 10-20 seconds.

To get your eggs to room temp place them in a bowl of warm tap water for 1-2 minutes.
