Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
• 2 tablespoons Extra whole wheat flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the honey, then gradually add the cold buttermilk, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Lightly dust a clean work surface with some of the extra whole wheat flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together.

Step 6

Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half, then turn it 90 degrees and pat it back into a rectangle. Repeat this folding and patting process 2 more times to create flaky layers.

Step 7

After the final fold, pat the dough into a rectangle or circle about 1 inch thick. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure they rise evenly.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, close together if you want soft edges or slightly apart for crispier edges.

Step 9

Gather the scraps of dough, re-pat, and cut more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 10

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
