Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, cold
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream (for brushing tops)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk and honey until well combined.
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently 2-3 times to bring it together, then pat it out into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the scraps of dough together gently and repeat the process until all the dough is used.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with milk or heavy cream for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a spread of butter, honey, or jam!
