Description

These biscuits are a favorite from my childhood. I adapted them from my 1950 Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook, and I think that adding a little bit of whole wheat flour adds great, nutty flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 6 Tablespoons Salted Butter, Cut Into Pats
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 whole Egg White

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 F.

Combine the flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor or a large bowl (if you are using a pastry blender). Add the butter to the flour mixture and process with a food processor or blend with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with small, uneven pieces of butter throughout.

Stir in the buttermilk until wet and dry ingredients are just combined. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll to a 3/8-inch thickness. Cut into biscuits and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush egg white on the tops of each biscuit and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until lightly golden.

Serve warm, if possible, with lots and lots of butter and jam. Reheat in the oven if necessary.

The taste and texture of these was so yummy! I’ve had whole wheat biscuits before that were really dense, but these were nice and fluffy. Mine turned out a bit flatter than your picture…maybe I rolled them too thin because it made about 16 biscuits? Will definitely be making these again!
