Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 piece egg (beaten, for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon optional: additional flaxseed for sprinkling

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 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, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, Greek yogurt, and almond milk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold the dough in half, turn it 90 degrees, and gently pat it out again. Repeat this process 2-3 times to create layers.

Step 7

Using a round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with additional flaxseed if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or a drizzle of honey!
