Easy and Healthy Whole-Wheat Biscuits
These biscuits are healthy and tasty at the same time. And the melt in your mouth texture is incredible!
Equipment
- 2 3/4 inch biscuit cutter
- Pastry Cutter
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour (or use all-purpose if necessary)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp + 2 extra tsp cane sugar
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp dairy-free or regular cold butter
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or another light cooking oil
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 cup dairy-free or regular milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.Combine the flour(s), salt, sugar, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
- Using the pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dough until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.Add in the milk, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the flour mixture.Stir with a stainless steel fork until the dough starts to come together.
- Place the dough on a floured surface. Gently finish combining the dough with your fingers until everything’s incorporated.
- Pat the dough (or you can roll it) to an 1/2 inch thickness. Using the biscuit cutter (2 3/4 inches), cut out the dough. Reform any excess dough into 1/2 inch thickness to cut out the rest of the biscuits.(You should be able to form 8 biscuits from the dough)
- Add the biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush gently with a little butter (optional). Bake for 12 - 13 minutes, or an extra minute or so if you want them to be more browned.
- Immediately brush the tops of the biscuits with a little butter after removing them from the oven. This will help soften the crust a bit and will add more flavor. The crust should still have a little crunch to it though..
- Serve while still warm with jam or whatever other toppings you’re in the mood for. Enjoy!
