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.

WHOLE WHEAT BISCUITS WITH FLAX (OAMC OPTION ALSO!)
I finally perfected my baking powder biscuits recipe to accomodate whole wheat flour and flax seed. It took me awhile as straight substitutions didn't work well and the measurements were weird (5.3333 TBL, etc). I finally got the taste, texture and measurements down (for our tastes at least!) I use 'White-Whole-Wheat-Flour' by King Arthur Flours in the below recipe. I buy Ground Flax Seed from Costco (40 oz jar only $10). I use dry nonfat milk in my baking (cheaper and more convenient). If you don't have any on hand just substitute a little more than 2/3 C of fresh skim milk. My directions are using a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer as that is what I always use when making my biscuits. Obviously you can adapt to your own mixing method. For OAMC-This recipe easily doubles. Form the biscuit dough into the flatten balls and place on a greased cookie sheet and place in the freezer. Once frozen, then place the dough into ziploc bags for freezer storage. You can then throw the frozen biscuits directly into the preheated 450 degree oven. They will take approximately 2-3 minutes longer to bake.

Steps:
- -Preheat oven to 450 degrees and grease 8X8 inch square baking pan.
- -Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, nonfat milk powder, and flax seed in the bowl of your mixer.
- -Add the butter and mix with the paddle attachment on your mixer. Mix until the butter is a little larger than pea sized pieces.
- -Add the water while the mixer is running. Once batter starts clinging to paddle it is done. You can always add a little more water at a time in case it is a dry day.
- -Scoop out the dough about 1/4 Cup at a time and form into a ball into your hand. Flatten out the dough ball and place in pan.
- -Bake for 12 minutes or until just turning golden brown on top.
Tips for Making Perfect Whole Wheat Biscuits:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your biscuits.
- Chill your dough before baking. This will help the biscuits rise higher and be more tender.
- Use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to cut your biscuits. This will help prevent them from becoming ragged or misshapen.
- Bake your biscuits in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcook your biscuits. They should be golden brown on top and slightly flaky on the inside.
Conclusion:
Whole wheat biscuits are a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover whole wheat flour. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect whole wheat biscuits every time. So next time you're in the mood for something warm and comforting, give these biscuits a try!
