THE BEST WHOLE WHEAT BISCUITS



The Best Whole Wheat Biscuits image

This homemade whole-wheat biscuit recipe is so quick and easy-plus it has only 5 ingredients! Make sure to bake a double batch to freeze for later and pull out for breakfast or dinner. They go great with homemade gravy or even jam.

Provided by Lisa Leake

Categories     Breakfast     Holiday     Lunch     Snacks & Appetizers

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups whole-wheat flour (or whole-wheat pastry flour)
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter (cold, unsalted)
1 cup milk (any kind)

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!

PERFECT WHOLE WHEAT BISCUITS



Perfect Whole Wheat Biscuits image

These biscuits are sooo delicious! A mix of white and wheat flour makes them light yet healthy. It is preferable to use a soft winter wheat flour for your all purpose flour. My local health food store purchases super fresh ground flour from a nearby flour mill so it makes for spectacular baking! I usually make a double batch and cut them to be the super sized biscuits so that we can make breakfast biscuits with eggs, bacon and cheese! I don't change the recipe at all, ever. Tip: my grandmother always said that to make good, flaky biscuits handle the dough as little as possible, barely kneading it at all.

WORLD'S BEST WHOLE WHEAT BISCUITS



World's Best Whole Wheat Biscuits image

This is my favorite biscuit recipe, and it is so easy to make because there is no shortening to cut in. The bonus is they are made with healthy whole wheat. I always make these at Thanksgiving because I have plenty of heavy cream on hand. You can substitute white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour, but regular whole wheat flour works fine. And did I say they are easy? They can't fail. The recipe is from "1000 Vegetarian Recipes" by Carol Gelles

WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Whole Wheat Buttermilk Biscuits image

The whole wheat gives these biscuits a nutty flavor. Patting and folding the dough makes the biscuits flaky too.

Provided by Ceezie

Categories     Breads

Time 1h12m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups whole wheat flour, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons buttermilk (plus more if needed)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F Combine 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; whisk together. Add butter, toss with your fingers to coat with flour, and rapidly pinch and fluff butter into flour with your fingertips to make small flakes. Work quickly to keep butter firm.
  • Add buttermilk; stir well with a fork until the dough gathers into one large lump. Drizzle in additional droplets of buttermilk if necessary.
  • Scrape dough onto a flat surface sprinkled with remaining 1/4 cup flour. Roll dough to coat with flour, then pat out into a rough rectangle about 1/2-inch-thick and fold it in thirds. Repeat the patting and folding. Pat dough into a thickness of 1 inch. Dip a 2-inch round cutter into flour and stamp out biscuits, coating the cutter with flour before each stamping. Place biscuits, top sides up, on a heavy ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown. Makes 12 biscuits.
  • Note: These are really good with honey butter. To make honey butter, put approximately equal amounts of honey and soft butter into a small bowl and whip with a fork until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the biscuits will be. Look for whole wheat flour that is freshly milled and unbleached, and use unsalted butter or ghee for a richer flavor.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits to rise more evenly. You can chill the dough for up to 3 days before baking.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: The biscuits should be baked in a preheated oven at 450°F. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't over-bake the biscuits: The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These healthy whole wheat biscuits are a delicious and nutritious早餐or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect biscuits every time. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying treat, give these whole wheat biscuits a try.
