-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 3/4 ounces whole-wheat pastry flour -- (about 2 1/2C)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter -- (4 oz.), divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 cup 1% low-fat buttermilk
Two key techniques make these whole-grain biscuits light and fluffy:
smashing the butter into the flour mixture with your fingers, and
folding the dough to create layers.
Active: 15 Mins
Total: 30 Mins
Serves: 20
Serving size: 1 biscuit
Preheat oven to 450F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt,
baking soda, and pepper in a large bowl.
Cut 7 tablespoons butter into 1/2" cubes; add to flour mixture, and
combine with hands, smashing butter between your fingers until all
cubes are mixed into the flour and flattened (you will have
noticeable pieces of different sizes). Stir in thyme.
Add buttermilk; stir with a rubber spatula until flour is fully
absorbed. Shape dough into a rough ball; turn out onto a lightly
floured surface.
Gently pat dough into a 1/2" thick square; fold dough in half, and
pat into a 1/2" thick square. Fold in half again. Repeat
folding-and-patting procedure once more. Pat dough to a thickness of
about 3/4".
Cut dough using a 1 3/4" round cutter. Gather dough scraps, and pat
to a 3/4-inch thickness 2 more times to yield 20 biscuits. Place
biscuits 1" apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 450F until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Place remaining 1
tablespoon butter in a small microwavable bowl; microwave at high
until melted, 15 to 20 seconds. Brush tops of hot biscuits with
melted butter, and serve immediately.
