Whole Wheat Biscuits
There’s something about the house being decorated for Christmas, a chill in the morning air, Christmas music softly playing and knowing people are going to wake up one by one to the smell of whole wheat biscuits baking.
There’s something about slowly waking up, wrapping yourself in a blanket, grabbing coffee and awaiting these to be fresh out of the oven.
There’s something about knowing that whatever you top these circular masterpieces with…it will be amazing.
There’s something about trying one with butter and honey and then trying one with butter and jam.
There’s something about creating memories based upon smells, tastes, and family.
There’s something about these biscuits and I love it!
Christmas is so soon! xoxo
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk, cold
What to do:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl whisk flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course meal. Add buttermilk to dry ingredients, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly 4 to 5 times. Roll or pat dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes or until brown.
