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.

WHOLE WHEAT BISCUITS WITH FLAX (OAMC OPTION ALSO!)
I finally perfected my baking powder biscuits recipe to accomodate whole wheat flour and flax seed. It took me awhile as straight substitutions didn't work well and the measurements were weird (5.3333 TBL, etc). I finally got the taste, texture and measurements down (for our tastes at least!) I use 'White-Whole-Wheat-Flour' by King Arthur Flours in the below recipe. I buy Ground Flax Seed from Costco (40 oz jar only $10). I use dry nonfat milk in my baking (cheaper and more convenient). If you don't have any on hand just substitute a little more than 2/3 C of fresh skim milk. My directions are using a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer as that is what I always use when making my biscuits. Obviously you can adapt to your own mixing method. For OAMC-This recipe easily doubles. Form the biscuit dough into the flatten balls and place on a greased cookie sheet and place in the freezer. Once frozen, then place the dough into ziploc bags for freezer storage. You can then throw the frozen biscuits directly into the preheated 450 degree oven. They will take approximately 2-3 minutes longer to bake.

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!

- 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.
- (Too much milk will make the dough sticky; too little will make the biscuits dry.) Gather the dough in a ball and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface.
- 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.

- Bake on the center shelf of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
- Do not overbake.
- Serve hot or warm.
Tips:
- Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for added nutritional value and a nutty flavor.
- For extra crispy biscuits, place them on a baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes before baking.
- To make the biscuits ahead of time, prepare the dough and cut out the biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When ready to bake, preheat the oven and bake the biscuits as directed.
- For a vegan option, use almond milk instead of buttermilk and omit the butter. You can also use ground flaxseed as a binder.
Conclusion:
These whole wheat biscuits with flax are a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you enjoy them plain, with butter and jam, or as a side dish with soup or stew, these biscuits are sure to be a hit.
