Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk, cold
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and dried thyme until evenly combined.
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cold buttermilk. Add the honey, if using. Stir gently with a fork or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Use a round biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, re-pat the dough, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the tops and bottoms.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite meal.
