Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh-milled whole grain flour (All Purpose)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the freshly milled flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in the butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the milk: Pour in the milk (or buttermilk) and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Drop the dough: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the biscuits: Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
