If you read my post Kombucha for Me then you know I am nuts about kombucha, a fermented beverage made with sweetened tea. These easy to make biscuit balls are fun, tasty, and versatile because the kombucha magically enhances the dough without the need to measure ingredients or cut in butter or any of the things that might make me say “I’d like a biscuit, but maybe it is not worth all that trouble just to make one!”
You add some kind of flour, a little baking soda and/or baking powder (I like both), and then stir in enough kombucha to make a damp fluffy dough that just holds together when shaped in a handful of oil (I use avocado oil). I use the regular grill setting on my Gourmia Robotic oven which is 20 minutes at 428F and, of course, I elevate them so the bottoms do not burn.
Because the kombucha SCOBY eats the sugar in order to turn tea into a nutritious substance that can be used in place of buttermilk in baking, if you want to make scones you might want to add sugar or a fruit puree. I like them savory rather than sweet, so I added za’atar seasoning to this batch. The flour is half Pioneer Buttermilk Biscuit Mix and half Gluten Free Flax Seed and Ancient Grains All Purpose Flour. I think this dough would also make a good spinach and tomato pie. Because of the Pioneer, it is only half healthy, but I am working my way up to trying these with only gluten-free “flour.” If it works I’ll let you know.
thanks for this post. Now I know what is kombucha. It is a fermented beverage made with sweetened tea.
Yes, Gil, that is exactly what it is.
Thanks for you have defined it in the text.
I got curious about the BUY NOW button so I clicked it. I thought I could buy some biscuits, lol.
Sometimes the ads are confusing! But they are what supports the site and makes it possible for us to get paid a few pennies now and then, Sharon. Fun.
I love this kind of recipes!
It is good when healthy food is also easy to make and delicious, Ellie.
That’s completely true!
Have never heard of these before Ann.
I may have invented them, Carol. After seeing recipes for kombucha sour-dough starter and kombucha cookies online, I decided to see what would happen if I used the kombucha in a soda bread and after that I tried the biscuits.
Well you go girl! They sound delicious.
That would be something for me – I’m very sweet
When I add blueberries with cinnamon and maple syrup then they are sweet.
It looks delicious and very easy
I am dying to make some zero wing jokes but nobody would get them
All your witticisms are now belong to us.
Someone set up us the bomb!
Main screen turn on. BTW, that panicked almost as many gullible people as did Bonsai Kittens.

Move zig- For great justice!!!
Sounds easy to make and healthy too. I would try it but i have been cutting out carbs lately. Maybe one day i will try this great recipe.
Thank you, I know what you mean about the carbs LaJenna because its seems that all I have to do is LOOK at bread or pasta and I gain a pound.
