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!

• Pre heat the oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Roll out a portion of the dough between two sheets of parchment/ butter paper. [ Roll out as thin as you want your biscuits to be]
• Remove the parchment on top and use a sharp knife or a cookie cutter to carve the biscuits. [ I used a knife to make the square biscuits and a round cookie cutter for the circular ones]
• Carefully remove the extra bits and transfer the parchment onto a baking tray. [Or you may lift up each biscuit using a flat spatula and transfer it to a prepared baking tray]
• Use a fork to prick holes on the shaped biscuits. [This will make sure that they remain flat and thin]
• Repeat the same with the rest of the dough. [ Keep the excess dough cling wrapped until use]
• Bake in the pre heated oven at 160 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until they turn light brown and crisp.
• Allow to cool on a wire rack. Store in an air tight jar once completely cooled.

• 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 1/4 cup flour. Roll dough to coat with flour, then pat out into a rough rectangle about 1/2-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.
