Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fluffy Eggless Whole Wheat Biscuits.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C). This will ensure your biscuits rise beautifully and develop a lovely golden color.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This blend of flours will give your biscuits a delightful texture and flavor.
Step 3
Next, take your cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a whisk or pastry cutter. You want to achieve a crumbly texture that resembles coarse crumbs—this is key for fluffy biscuits!
Step 4
Now, pour in the milk and gently stir until the mixture is just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently for about 15 turns—this helps develop the dough without making it tough. Then, pat or roll the dough out to about 3/4-inch thick.
Step 6
Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a cup, cut out circles from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between each biscuit to allow for rising.
Step 7
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and your kitchen is filled with a heavenly aroma. Once done, serve them warm and enjoy!
How to Serve
These biscuits are best served warm, slathered with butter, jam, or honey. They also pair wonderfully with soups or stews for a comforting meal.
How to Store
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
