THE BEST WHOLE WHEAT BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl combine the dry ingredients. Mix well with whisk or fork.
• Cut the ½ stick butter into little pea sized pieces and then mix the pieces into the flour mixture.
• Using a fork or pastry blender, try to mash the butter pieces as you mix it together with the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It is okay if the outcome just looks like the same pea sized pieces of butter covered with flour.
• Then pour in the milk and mix it all together. Knead the dough with your hands 8 to 10 times (for best results do not over-knead the dough) and then turn out onto a floured surface (like a counter or cutting board).
• Pat it out flat with your hands until the dough is a somewhat even ¾-inch thickness (sprinkle with a little flour if necessary).
• Turn a drinking glass upside down and cut out biscuit rounds. I have also used shaped cookie cutters (like a heart or star) if you have little ones helping you!
• Then place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet or in a cast iron skillet and bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!

EASY WHOLE WHEAT SOURDOUGH DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Stir together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl, then cut in the butter with a fork, pastry blender, or two knives.
• Stir together the sourdough starter and milk in a large mixing cup.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the starter and milk to the well. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until it is just combined, taking care not to overmix.
• Cover with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise and ferment for 6-8 hours.
• Butter a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 400°F. Carefully scoop out the biscuit dough with a spoon (taking care to not deflate the dough) and place on the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for around 20-30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack until ready to serve.

FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT BISCUITS

• Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8 to 10 times. Roll to about 3/4-inch thickness; cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until biscuits are lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

WHOLE WHEAT DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees and grease a loaf pan (or if doubling the recipe, a round cake pan should work).
• Melt butter in microwave and let cool for about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in large bowl. Mix cold buttermilk and milk with butter, stirring until butter forms small clumps.
• Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
• Pour extra flour onto a plate or shallow bowl. Rub your hands in the flour to dust them well. Spoon a lump of wet dough (around 1/4 cup) into the flour, and sprinkle some flour over it to coat well. Gently pick it up and shape it into a soft round by tossing the dough gently back and forth between your hands. Place biscuit in pan and repeat with remaining dough, ensuring biscuits touch each other. This keeps them soft and ensures they rise nicely.
• Bake until tops are golden brown, 10 - 12 minutes. You can brush with an additional melted butter if desired. Cool for a minute or two, then dump out and break apart into individual biscuits.
• Serve immediately.

• Bake for 8 to10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the biscuits are browned on the top and bottom.
