Pre-heat oven to 400ºF.

Sift 2.5 cups einkorn flour and 1 scant tablespoon baking powder into a large bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt, whisk to combine.

Add 5 tablespoons of cubed butter; cut butter and flour with a pastry cutter or 2 knives until the mixture resembles rough crumbs.

Add milk, and mix with a spoon until sloppy shaggy dough comes together.

Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface.

Mold the dough into a ball.

Roll it out (or press with your hands) to about 1 inch tall. Fold in half.

Roll out, and fold again.

Roll the dough to about 8x10".

Cut into biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass (don't twist cutter during cutting, it pinches the edges, which affects the rise).

Place einkorn biscuits on parchment lined cookie sheet.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops just start turning golden.
