Whole Wheat Buttermilk Biscuits


These are a simple, homemade, no preservatives biscuit. They are so easy to make and tasty too!


1/3c. butter

1c. whole wheat flour

3/4c. all purpose, unbleached flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/4tsp. baking soda

3/4tsp. fine sea salt

3/4c. buttermilk

(Hint: If you don't have buttermilk, take 3/4c. regular milk and add 3/4 Tbsp. white vinegar)


Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut butter into flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until it resembles fine crumbs. Add milk and combine. If dough is sticky add a little more flour. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 10 times. Roll out 1/2 inch thick. Use a floured biscuit cutter or a cup and cut out biscuits. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Place them so they are touching if you like a softer biscuit and about 1 inch apart if you like them crusty. Bake 10-12 minutes. This recipe makes about 12 biscuits :)
