Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk, cold
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Extra flour for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey until well combined.
Gradually pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Lightly dust a clean surface with extra flour. Transfer the dough to the floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Fold the dough in half over itself and gently pat it down again. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat this process 2-3 times. This creates flaky layers in the biscuits.
Finally, pat the dough to a 1-inch thickness. Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are touching slightly for a soft rise.
Re-roll any remaining dough scraps and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits have risen beautifully.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly before serving warm. Pair with butter, honey, or jam for an extra treat.
