Try these thick biscuits with a hearty flavor thanks to whole wheat flour and rolled oats.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield about fifteen 2-inch biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour, plus more, for dusting
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup buttermilk, plus more, for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put the flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor; pulse until the oats are finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Pour into a large bowl and form a well in the center. Gently stir in the buttermilk until the dough just comes together.
  • Dust a work surface with flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface. Flatten the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter. Flatten and repeat from the other direction. Roll or pat out to a generous 3/4-inch thickness. Cut out rounds using a 2- to 3-inch biscuit cutter, rerolling and cutting the scraps. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 1/2 to 2 inches between the biscuits. Brush the tops with buttermilk.
  • Bake the biscuits until risen and light golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour: Whole wheat flour is a good choice for these biscuits because it provides a hearty flavor and texture. You can also use a blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flour.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter is essential for creating flaky biscuits. If the butter is too warm, it will melt into the flour and the biscuits will be dense and tough.
  • Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Just mix the ingredients until they come together, then shape and bake them.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: This will help them to rise and create a golden brown crust.
  • Let the biscuits cool before serving: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These whole grain biscuits are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different herbs, spices, or cheeses to create your own unique flavor combinations.
