Description

These whole wheat biscuits made with all-purpose and whole wheat flour bake up light and fluffy and are ready to eat in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1 cup buttermilk

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2 Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in buttermilk until just moistened.
3 Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8 to 10 times. Roll out to about 3/4-inch thick. Use a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut biscuits; reroll any scraps to cut more biscuits. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
4 Bake in preheated oven until biscuits are lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
