Whole-wheat flour gives these biscuits a delicious nutty flavor. Patting and folding the dough makes the biscuits flaky, too. Perfect with honey-butter.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450F.
  2. 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.
  3. Add buttermilk; stir well with a fork until the dough gathers into one large lump. Drizzle in additional droplets of buttermilk if necessary.
  4. 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.
  5. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown.
