Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
Step 3
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or fork to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, low-fat buttermilk, and honey. Mix until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently combine them with a spatula until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it two or three times until smooth.
Step 7
Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits. Press straight down without twisting the cutter to ensure the biscuits rise evenly.
Step 8
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 10
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy biscuits warm!
