For the Biscuit Dough
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure and lightness; substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.

  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor; optional if using salted butter.
  • 0.5 cup Cold Butter Creates a rich, flaky texture; consider using grated frozen butter.
  • 0.75 cup Milk Hydrates the dough; any plant-based milk works.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Optional; adds sweetness.
For the Topping
  • 1 tablespoon Additional Milk Brush on top for a shiny finish.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Grate or cut cold butter into the flour mixture and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the mixture, pour in milk and honey, and stir gently until a dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for about 30 seconds and roll it out to 1 inch thick.
  6. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or glass and place them on the baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops with additional milk and bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
