To make mouth water buttermilk biscuits, you will need the following ingredients:
- ¾ cup of buttermilk
- 1 cup of whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons of cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon milk for brushing your biscuits
Once you have all the ingredients, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and coat your baking sheet with cooking spray. While the oven is heating up, combine the buttermilk and oil together. Whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut your butter until the dry ingredients with your fingertips or two knives. The bowl dry ingredients should start looking crumbly.
When this happens, make a well in the center of the bowl and slowly pour in the buttermilk mixture and stir the mixture with a fork until its combined.
Once this task is completed, you can transfer the dough to a floured surface. Don’t forget to sprinkle the dough with flour as well.
The dough should be knead at least 8 times and rolled out to ¾ thickness and cut the rolls into 2-inch rounds so they can be placed on the baking sheet and their tops can be brushed with milk.
The buttermilk biscuits only need to cook for 12 to 16 minutes or cook them until they are golden brown. Once done cooking, set your biscuits on a wire rack to be cooled down before serving. Recipe makes 1 dozen buttermilk biscuits in less than 55 minutes.
