Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold
• 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for slight sweetness)

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, salt, and ground flaxseed until evenly combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overmix; small pieces of butter should still be visible.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk and honey (if using) to the bowl, stirring gently with a fork or spatula. Mix just until the dough comes together; avoid overhandling the dough to keep the biscuits tender.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 4-5 times to bring it together into a cohesive ball.

Step 6

Pat or roll the dough to a thickness of about 1 inch. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out round biscuits. Gently gather any remaining scraps of dough, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.

Step 9

**OAMC (Once-A-Month Cooking) Option**: To freeze the biscuits, place the unbaked biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to bake, place the frozen biscuits on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
