Flaky Biscuits

Chilled butter cuts into whole wheat pastry and white flours until pea-sized crumbles form—the key to genuinely flaky layers—before milk gathers the dough together for a hot 375-degree bake.

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375° F and line half-sheet tray with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Sift flours, powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using) in medium sized bowl. Whisk to combine.

  3. 3

    Cut fat into flour mixture until fat is crumbly and coated in flour. Crumbles should be about size of small peas or smaller.

  4. 4

    Pour in milk or almond milk and gently mix with rubber spatula just until combined, being careful to not over-mix.

  5. 5

    Transfer dough to lightly floured table and gently roll out to shape of rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. With long edge facing you, fold in both short ends to meet in middle. Fold dough forward in half and very gently roll together to 3/4 inch or no thinner than 1/2-inch square. This folding technique will provide flaky layers if not over-worked and too flat.

  6. 6

    Cut biscuits with lightly floured cookie cutter or sharp knife and transfer to sheet tray. If desired, brush tops with melted butter.

  7. 7

    for about 6 minutes and rotate pan in oven to ensure even browning. Continue for about another 10 minutes or until golden brown on top and slightly firm to touch.

  8. 8

    Transfer to rack and cool.
