Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingrediets:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 Tbs. granulated white sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 Tbs. cold butter
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 medium egg
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 392°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Cut 2 tablespoons of cold butter into small pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 1/2 cup sour cream to the mixture and stir until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
- Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or honey.
Notes
These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh from the oven. They can be reheated slightly to enjoy a warm biscuit or sliced and toasted for a crispier texture. Adding honey or butter enhances their flavor.
