Make and share this 100% Whole Wheat Sour Cream Biscuits recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Shorter Mama

Categories     Breads

Time 23m

Yield 10-12 Biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups 100% whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons gluten
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or regular)
1/4 cup cold butter, cut in pats
1/2 cup cold milk
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Put oven rack just below the middle so the biscuits will bake in the middle of the oven. This will prevent the bottoms being overdone, and will produce a nice crust on the top and a tender middle.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F Bake 18 minutes, or until the biscuit is firm with just a little "give" when lightly pressed on top, and are golden brown. The time will vary slightly depending on the size of your biscuits.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour, gluten, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Using a pastry blender, cut cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside. (If you don't have a pastry blender, use two table knives and keep cutting across the mixture. It takes a little longer, but works as well.).
  • In a small bowl, stir together milk and sour cream until mixture is fairly smooth. Add the milk mixture all at once to the flour mixture in the medium bowl. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir just until the dough sticks together.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly-floured surface. Gently knead 10-12 times, or just until the dough holds together.
  • Pat dough to 1/2 thickness, forming a square or rectangle. Cut dough into squares or rectangles. If too large, cut squares across corner-to-corner into diamonds. OR: roll dough with a floured rolling pin to 1/2-inch thickness and cut biscuits with a floured 3-inch biscuits cutter. Push the cutter straight down and twist to cut the dough without tearing it. Push the cut biscuits out of the cutter.
  • Put the cut biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about a 1-inch space on all sides between biscuits so the sides will get "crusty" like the tops.
  • Bake for 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Provided by Susan Feliciano

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg active dry yeast
1/4 c warm water (105 degrees)
1 c whole wheat flour (i used white whole wheat)
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar

  • 2. Stir/sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • 3. Stir the melted butter into the buttermilk until smooth.
  • 4. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour the yeast and the buttermilk mixture into the well. Stir together with a rubber spatula until it forms a soft sticky ball of dough.
  • 5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough about 12 - 15 strokes, working in a minimal amount of extra flour.

Provided by mielhollinger

Categories     Breads

Time 35m

Yield 10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup plain soymilk, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixting bowl.
  • Cut in the oil with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Using a fork, stir in just enough of the milk so that the dry ingredients are moistened and the dough comes together.
  • (Too much milk will make the dough sticky; too little will make the biscuits dry.) Gather the dough in a ball and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface.
  • Knead it gently 20 to 25 times.
  • Then smooth it into a ball.
  • Roll or pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick round and cut it with a floured 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
  • Push the center straight down into the dough without twisting it.
  • Reroll and recut the scraps of dough.
  • Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet about an inch apart for crusty sides or touching for soft sides.
  • Bake on the center shelf of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly browned.
  • Do not overbake.
  • Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • To achieve a flaky and tender texture, ensure that the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before incorporating it into the flour mixture.
  • Handle the dough as little as possible to prevent gluten from developing, resulting in a tough biscuit.
  • For a taller biscuit, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • The biscuits are done baking when they are golden brown on top and the edges are firm.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter, honey, or your favorite gravy.

Conclusion:

Wheat biscuits are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be paired with a variety of dishes, from stews and soups to fried chicken and barbecue. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make homemade wheat biscuits that are sure to impress your family and friends.
