Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a fork or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Avoid using a rolling pin to maintain the biscuits' tender texture.
- Using a
- 5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits by pressing straight down without twisting. Gather the scraps and gently re-pat to cut additional biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are nearly touching for soft sides or spaced apart for crispier edges.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are risen and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam. These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made.
Tips
- Use Cold Ingredients: Ensure your butter is cold and cubed before adding it to the flour mixture. This helps create those flaky layers in your biscuits.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the milk and dry ingredients, mix just until the dough comes together. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
- Pat, Don’t Roll: Instead of rolling out the dough, gently pat it into shape. This keeps the biscuits tender and fluffy.
- Cut Straight Down: When using the biscuit cutter, press straight down without twisting. Twisting can seal the edges and prevent the biscuits from rising properly.
- Bake Until Golden: Keep an eye on your biscuits as they bake. They should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch when done.
- Serve Fresh: For the best flavor and texture, serve the biscuits warm right out of the oven. They are perfect with butter, honey, or your favorite jam!
