Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 cups Whole wheat flour
- 5 tablespoons Baking powder
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 2.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.5 cups Cold unsalted butter
- 5 cups Buttermilk
- 5 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cups Milk (optional, for brushing tops)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line multiple baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey until fully combined.
Slowly pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just a few times to bring it together. Pat it out to about 1-inch thickness.
Use a 2- to 2.5-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the scraps as necessary until all the dough is used. Place the biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheets to help them rise taller.
Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spreads.
