Baking All the Rules- Whole Wheat Biscuits

Adapted from Recipe submitted to AllRecipes.com by Ruth Ann Stelfox

Personal Note: Put down the tube of biscuit dough filled with trans fat! Hurry before it ruins your arteries anymore! That’s it…nice and slow. Hold on; let me don my hazmat suit. Alright, I’ll get rid of that can for you. Whew! That was a close call! Please please please don’t buy those anymore, these are really very very simple. Not only do they take 15 minutes max (that includes cooking time), the taste is unparalleled.

Plan of Attack:

1. Mix dry ingredients

2. Cut in butter

Ingredients for 6 biscuits:

½ C all-purpose flour

¼ + 1/8 tsp salt

3 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small chunks

½ C buttermilk

Instructions:

2. In a medium bowl add both flours, baking powder, sugar and salt; combine
3. With a fork or pastry blender cut butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs
4. Stir in buttermilk and mix just until combined
5. Turn out dough onto a clean, floured surface; knead gently about 8-10 times
6. Roll dough into about 3/4” thickness, use a 2 ½” biscuit cutter (or a drinking glass) to cut into 5-6 biscuits
7. Place on an ungreased baking sheet (or pizza stone, yes I said pizza stone)
8. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light brown
9. Enjoy!
