Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
- 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 with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Gradually pour in the cold 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. Gently pat or roll the dough to about 3/4 inch thickness. Avoid using a rolling pin if possible to keep the biscuits tender.
- Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter or a clean drinking glass, cut out biscuit rounds. Press straight down without twisting to ensure even rising.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit. For softer sides, place them close together; for crispier edges, spread them apart.
- Optional: Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little extra milk for a golden brown finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
Tips
- Keep Ingredients Cold: To achieve the flakiest biscuits, make sure your butter and milk are cold. This helps create steam during baking, resulting in a light texture.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the milk with the dry ingredients, mix just until the dough comes together. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
- Use a Sharp Cutter: For perfectly risen biscuits, use a sharp biscuit cutter or glass. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your biscuits by adding herbs, cheese, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for a unique twist.
- Serve Fresh: For the best taste and texture, enjoy your biscuits fresh out of the oven. They can be reheated, but nothing beats that first warm bite!
