YEAST BISCUITS
Wonderful from-scratch yeast biscuits-golden and crusty outside and tender inside-were a staple Mom prepared regularly when I was growing up. They are perfect for sopping up gravy from bowls of beef stew and are also great for sandwiches.

WHOLE WHEAT YEAST RISEN BISCUITS
I made these this morning to eat with the pear butter I made last night. Delicious! I love making yeast breads. This recipe is great because there is only 30 minutes rising time. Takes longer than regular biscuits, but is still quick enough to do for breakfast. I may experiment in the future to see how much whole wheat flour I...

- 2. Stir/sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 3. Stir the melted butter into the buttermilk until smooth.
- 4. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour the yeast and the buttermilk mixture into the well. Stir together with a rubber spatula until it forms a soft sticky ball of dough.
- 5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough about 12 - 15 strokes, working in a minimal amount of extra flour.
- 6. Roll dough out 1/2" thick. Cut little biscuits with a small 2" cutter, and arrange with sides touching on a baking stone or biscuit pan. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for 30 minutes.

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!

I finally found a moist light biscuit that I love and the rest of my family likes! The secret is to get whole wheat pastry flour. Use the high gluten pastry flour if you can.

Tips:
- Use active dry yeast that is not expired. Old yeast may not activate properly, resulting in dense, heavy biscuits.
- Make sure the liquid ingredients are warm, but not hot. Hot liquids will kill the yeast, preventing the biscuits from rising.
- Knead the dough just until it comes together. Over-kneading will make the biscuits tough.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about an hour.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. If the dough is too thick, the biscuits will be dense. If the dough is too thin, the biscuits will be dry.
- Cut the dough into rounds using a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife.
- Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
Conclusion:
These whole wheat yeast-risen biscuits are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional white flour biscuits. They are made with whole wheat flour, which is a good source of fiber and nutrients. They are also made with yeast, which gives them a light and fluffy texture. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be served with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
