“Healthified” Biscuits
I’m such a sucker for homemade, melt in your mouth, fluffy, buttermilk biscuits. Along with the cornbread, my Nanaw’s biscuits were among the first things i made. Of course, my Nanaw’s biscuits were and still are anything but healthy.
Nanaw’s Famous Biscuits:
- 1/3 cup lard
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 cup water or buttermilk
There are soooo…. good, and I still have one when she makes them, but nutrition wise, they just don’t make the grade. So, as I am always coming up with healthier versions of different foods, I came up with an amazing whole-wheat biscuit recipe!
What Ya Need:
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/4 cup white flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 4/4 tsp. baking soda
- 5 Tbsp. butter, cut into chunks (I use Brummel & Brown)
How Ya Make it:
Preheat oven to 425F. Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a fork. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and stir lightly until dough forms. Place on a floured surface and knead. Press dough with hands into a rectangle 1/2″ thick, and cut into 2″ rounds. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown on top. I love serving mine with dark honey or jelly!
