Ingredients

1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons sugar

1 stick unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces
1 cup buttermilk, cold

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In a large bowl whisk flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk to dry ingredients, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly 4 to 5 times. Roll or pat dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes or until brown.

Pretty Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These got ok reviews from my family, it's nice to have more hearty and healthy biscuits. Make sure the dough isn't rolled... out too thin, they will not rise very much.Read more

Great tasting and easy to make!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I generally love whole wheat baked goods and this was no exception. Very easy to make and came out surprisingly light and... fluffy. My family loved them and it is a great, somewhat healthier alternative than full on fat white flour buiscuits. I did go by the recipe exactly with no problems.Read more

Better than any refrigerated dough Hands Down!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am not very good with baking breads. This recipe however was a piece of cake! (which I can bake!) I've been looking for... a biscuit recipe to make breakfast sandwiches with. I'm tired of all the preservatives in store bought items. Our family tends to eat on the healthier side and despite the butter this recipe calls for, I feel overall, it's tasty, natural, and super easy. I made 3 batches and am cooking up egg beaters and turkey sausage to assemble breakfast sandwiches to freeze. These Whole Wheat Biscuits are a perfect fit!! Thanks Danny Boome!! BTW I figured out some of the basics for nutrition: 147 Calories 3g Protein 16g Carbs However, my batches made 12 instead of 10 and I used fat free milk since I didn't have buttermilk on hand, which worked great!

This where great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I changed it up a little. I used I can't believe it's butter and fat free milk. I also used this recipe for doughnuts. They... turned out great.Read more

Sweet biscuit heaven!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are easy make, and very tasty and tender. I made them just like the recipe said. They were very moist when I turned... them out to knead them, but the best biscuit recipes are like that - the same thing happened with Alton Brown's biscuit recipe. Just take your jewelery off, dust your hands and counter top generously, and use a nylon scraper to clean up after. These are fantastic!Read more

Wonderful flaky light biscuits
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I took the advice of other reviewers and used less butter (about 6 T.s) and just a scant cup of buttermilk. I always use my... food processor to make biscuits and scones--does a much better job. I added the milk a little at a time, then pulsed. That way you can stop when the dough is the right consistency. I used unbleached bread flour by mistake instead of a.p. flour, but they turned out great. Read more
