Biscuits and Games
: Mary Ellen P. Riley / Whisk Together
Serves: 12 biscuits
- 12 ounces white whole wheat flour (3 cups flour, but I recommend weighing for accuracy)
- 2 and ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 8 Tb cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg
- 1 scant cup buttermilk
- 1 T honey
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or spray with cooking spray.
- In a great big bowl, mix your dry stuff together: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Once mixed, add the butter around the dry mixture. Mix in with a pastry cutter, forks or your fingers. It should look like coarse crumbs.
- Stir the egg, buttermilk and honey together (I just added it all in the buttermilk measuring cup).
- Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture. Stir with a spatula until just combined.
- Sprinkle a little flour on your counter and put the dough on it. Turn it over and knead 3 or 4 times.
- Now roll out until ¾" thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter (or cut into squares with a knife).
- Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve while warm
