These fluffy whole wheat biscuits are a healthier alternative to traditional biscuits, made with whole wheat flour for added fiber and nutrients. They are light, fluffy, and perfect for breakfast or as a side to a savory dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Slowly pour in the buttermilk, stirring until just combined and a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
  6. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
  7. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!
