Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.75 cup milk (preferably whole milk, cold)
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. It’s okay if some pea-sized chunks of butter remain; these will add flakiness to the biscuits.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cold milk and honey until the honey is dissolved.
Pour the milk and honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a fork or spatula to gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 2-3 times until it holds together, then pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds from the dough. Gather the scraps, reshape, and cut more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re close together for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings!
