THE BEST WHOLE WHEAT BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl combine the dry ingredients. Mix well with whisk or fork.
• Cut the ½ stick butter into little pea sized pieces and then mix the pieces into the flour mixture.
• Using a fork or pastry blender, try to mash the butter pieces as you mix it together with the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It is okay if the outcome just looks like the same pea sized pieces of butter covered with flour.
• Then pour in the milk and mix it all together. Knead the dough with your hands 8 to 10 times (for best results do not over-knead the dough) and then turn out onto a floured surface (like a counter or cutting board).
• Pat it out flat with your hands until the dough is a somewhat even ¾-inch thickness (sprinkle with a little flour if necessary).
• Turn a drinking glass upside down and cut out biscuit rounds. I have also used shaped cookie cutters (like a heart or star) if you have little ones helping you!
• Then place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet or in a cast iron skillet and bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!

WHOLE-WHEAT BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixting bowl.
• Cut in the oil with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Using a fork, stir in just enough of the milk so that the dry ingredients are moistened and the dough comes together.

• Knead it gently 20 to 25 times.
• Then smooth it into a ball.
• Roll or pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick round and cut it with a floured 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
• Push the center straight down into the dough without twisting it.
• Reroll and recut the scraps of dough.
• Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet about an inch apart for crusty sides or touching for soft sides.
• Bake on the center shelf of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
• Do not overbake.
