Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well incorporated.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Be sure to leave some small chunks of butter for a flaky biscuit texture.
In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream and milk. Mix until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the sour cream mixture. Gently stir until the dough begins to come together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough into a 1-inch-thick round.
Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter (or a glass), cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting for the best rise. Re-roll the scraps if necessary, but handle the dough as little as possible.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart for crisp edges or touching for softer edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
