Ingredients

1 ½cupswhole-wheat flour

1 ½cupsall-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

2tablespoonsbaking powder

¼teaspoonsalt

6tablespoonscold unsalted butter, cubed

1tablespoonhoney, plus more for serving

1 ¼cupsbuttermilk, divided

Directions

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper..

Stir whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Cut butter into the flour mixture, using a pastry blender or fingertips, until the mixture is crumbly and resembles small peas, about 2 minutes. Add honey and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk; gently stir with a fork, being careful to not overwork the dough. The dough will be shaggy and crumbly with some wet spots.

Preheat oven to 425℉.

Transfer the parchment paper with the dough rectangle to a cutting board. Cut the dough evenly into 12 pieces (do not cut through the parchment) and arrange 1/2 inch apart on the parchment. Transfer the parchment with the dough pieces to a baking sheet. Brush the biscuit tops evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk.

Bake until the edges of the biscuit tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Drizzle with honey, if desired, before serving.

To make ahead

Store baked biscuits, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days. Freeze unbaked biscuits on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Before baking, thaw overnight in the refrigerator on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
