Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour Divided
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 6 Tablespoons Butter Cold, cut into small pieces
- ¾ cup Buttermilk Plus 2 Tablespoons more if needed
Equipment
- Oven
- Medium Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- 2-inch Round Cutter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Combine 1¾ cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; whisk together. Add butter, toss with your fingers to coat with flour, and rapidly pinch and fluff butter into flour with your fingertips to make small flakes. Work quickly to keep butter firm.
- Add buttermilk; stir well with a fork until the dough gathers into one large lump. Drizzle in additional droplets of buttermilk if necessary.
- Scrape dough onto a flat surface sprinkled with remaining ¼ cup flour. Roll dough to coat with flour, then pat into a rough rectangle about ½-inch thick and fold it in thirds. Repeat the patting and folding. Pat dough into a thickness of 1 inch. Dip a 2-inch round cutter into flour and stamp out biscuits, coating the cutter with flour before each stamping. Place biscuits, top sides up, on a heavy ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown. Makes 12 biscuits.
