Fast whole-grain drop biscuits. Pair with sausage gravy for breakfast 🤤

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup whole wheat flour (red or white)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoon cold butter, lard, or other rendered fat
• 0.67 cup whole fat buttermilk

Directions

1. Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl
2. Cut in the cold butter until you have pea-sized butter chunks (Or, try grating frozen butter with a cheese grater and adding the shreds to the flour)
3. Add just enough buttermilk to make a heavy, wet dough
4. “Knead” the dough lightly until it sticks together
5. Pat dough out on a well-floured surface to approximately one inch thick or drop it by large spoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet
6. Bake in preheated 425°F oven approximately 10 minutes, and cool on a wire rack

Notes

• Use cold fat! This is important to ensure that you end up with a nice, flaky biscuit.
• Do not over-knead. The heat of your hands will cause the fat to warm up - this makes the biscuits tough.
• Do not over-bake - they get kind of gummy.
• Optional mix ins include fresh or dried herbs, dried fruit, chopped nuts, or freshly grated cheese. Get creative!
