Preparation

Step 1

biscuits
Preheat oven to 475°. Whisk 2 1/2 cups spelt flour and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Using fingertips, blend in the shortening; form a well in center of mixture. Whisk 1/2 cup buttermilk, yogurt, and agave in a small bowl; pour into flour mixture; stir with a fork to blend. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Knead 2 or 3 times to bring dough together. Press dough into a 3/4"-thick round. Using biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds. Gather scraps; repeat cutting until all dough is used. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet; brush with buttermilk.

Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
