I have pretty high standards for biscuits. I need the exterior to be flaky and the interior pillowy and light. If you have ever worked with whole wheat flour it is pretty easy to make a hockey puck. I took a few days tweaking my grandmother’s recipe to use whole wheat flour after a quite a few of you guys asked for this.

Can I admit something??? I find that whole wheat flour is quite drying. It is a hard combo to find the right amount of buttermilk without making the biscuit gummy.

On a side note! do you see my butter thief????

But the key to making these biscuits as is with any biscuit) is SUPER FROZEN butter. That makes sense in my head. what I mean is the butter has to be frozen solid. I cut my stick of butter into cubes and then pop it back into the freezer until the very second you are going to use it.

Do you see the invisible visible hand? that would be my little helper. She helps me with dinner overnight but she steal a few wads of butter here and there. It was too cute that I actually caught her in the act.

You have to be aware of the dough. If your house is hot make sure the butter stays ice cold.It is imperative that it stays ice cold. Have I said it enough yet? Yeah? Good!  Making biscuits is almost like a lesson in science. When the cold/ frozen butter hit the hold oven it causes the crisp exterior and the fluffy interior. Also it gives the biscuits a nice rise.

Also the buttermilk should be cold. That is another under estimated ingredient. If you run out of buttermilk or it just isn’t available where you live- here is a quick substitute:

  • 1 scant cup milk (whole, 2%, or heavy cream)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • Mix them together and immediately you will see the milk start to thick even curdle. Use every bit of it in the recipe.

I did the official test tasting at our early thanksgiving dinner this past weekend. I got the thumbs up from my grandma and the kids. Those seem to be the toughest biscuit critics.

Peace and Love!

Flaky Whole Wheat Buttermilk Biscuit

This Flaky Whole Wheat Buttermilk Biscuit has exterior to be flaky and the interior pillowy and light. Satisfying and healthy is a pretty hard combo but these biscuits deliver on that promise.

Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 Cup Whole wheat Flour
  • 1 Cup Cold buttermilk
  • 8 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter Frozen and cut into cubes
  • 1 Teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 2 Tablespoon Salted butter to brush on top
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425. 

    Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Transfer to a food processor. Cut butter into cubes and add to flour, then pulse 6 or 7 times until the mixture resembles rough crumbs. (Alternatively, cut butter into flour in the mixing bowl using a grater, fork or a pastry cutter.) Return dough to bowl, add buttermilk and stir with a fork until it forms a rough ball (don’t worry if it is a little sticky).

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rough rectangle, about an inch thick. Fold it over and gently roll it down again. Repeat 6 times.

    Gently roll out the dough some more, so that it forms a rectangle. Cut dough into biscuits using a floured glass or biscuit cutter. Do not twist cutter when cutting; this will crimps the edges of the biscuit causing it not to rise. If you have scraps just reform a rectangle and cut additional biscuits.

    Place biscuits on a baking sheet and place in oven. Bake until golden brown, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Serves 6 to 8. Brush on the melted butter and enjoy!
