Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅔ cups 8 1/3 oz / 236 g whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup 3 oz / 85 g powdered sugar
  • ½ cup 4 oz / 115 g butter, cubed
  • ¼ cup 2 fl oz / 57 ml milk

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and powdered sugar. Mix well.

Add Butter

  • Quickly rub the cubed butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips or a blender until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.

Form Dough

  • Add the milk and mix to form a dough. If the dough seems dry, add a bit more milk.

Roll Out Dough

  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Roll it until smooth.
  • Using a well-floured rolling pin, roll the dough to just over 1/8 inch thick.
  • Cut the dough into rounds, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Re-roll the scraps to make more biscuits.

Bake Biscuits

  • Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking pan.
  • Optional: Prick the biscuits with a fork to create holes.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are pale gold.

Store Biscuits

  • Let the biscuits cool, then store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • You can also freeze the raw dough for up to 1 month.
