Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the Milk: Pour in the milk and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a floured biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread!
These biscuits can also be easily customized by adding herbs, cheese, or spices to suit your taste. Enjoy!
