  • Author: Ann
  • Prep Time: 10 min
  • Cook Time: 15 min
  • Total Time: 25 min
  • Yield: 10 - 12 biscuits 1x
  • Category: Bread
  • Method: Baked
  • Cuisine: Southern
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup COLD butter, cut into small pieces

Dry ingredients:

  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 2 – 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Wet ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Cut the butter into small pieces and set in the freezer while you gather the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Put the dry ingredients in a food processor and pulse a couple times to mix. Add about 1/3 of the butter, then pulse to mix, then the next third, pulse again, and then finally the last bit and pulse until the butter is broken up into very small chunks. You do want some visible chunks of butter.
  3. Pour the butter/flour mixture into a large mixing bowl and stir in the egg and milk. Pour the shaggy bits of dough out onto a floured surface and knead the dough 10 – 12 times or until it comes together. Use a rolling pin to roll it out to 3/4 – 1 inch thick. Cut into biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour. Gather up the remnants, knead them together and roll out again.
  4. Set the biscuits on a large baking sheet lined with a silicon baking mat. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until puffy and golden brown on top. They are best enjoyed warm out of the oven, but if you have any left over, simply store the cooled biscuits in a bag and toast them to warm.
