Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter (cold)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or swap white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour*)
1 tablespoon baking powder (I recommend aluminum free)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (I used nonfat)
1 teaspoon honey
Grated parmesan and finely chopped fresh chives (try adding a pinch of garlic powder to the dry ingredients with this one!)
Shredded sharp cheddar and ground black pepper
Shredded gruyere and finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Dice the butter into small pieces and place it in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. (If adding any herbs, garlic powder, or black pepper, do it here.)
  • Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top. With a pastry blender (or my favorite, your fingers), cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Some pieces may be the size of small pebbles and others as large as peas.
  • In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, and honey until smoothly combined. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients a little at a time, stirring lightly between additions. (If adding cheese, add it slowly as you add the milk.) Stop stirring as soon as the dough holds together. It will be very moist and seem wet.
  • Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. I like to use a muffin scoop for this-you'll have 9 large or 12(ish) more moderately sized biscuits total. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the tops are golden and spring back lightly when touched. Enjoy warm.
