Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rye flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Molasses
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the chilled, diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and molasses until well combined.
Pour the milk-molasses mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together. Avoid overmixing—the dough should be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Using a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather and re-roll the scraps as needed.
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 let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite meal.
