Time 40m

Yield 12 to 16 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup unbleached white flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Combine flours, baking powder and salt. Cut butter or margarine into dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or two knives, or rub gently between hands until pea-size pieces are formed.
  • Make a well in the center and add the eggs and milk. Beat the eggs and milk with a fork until smooth. Continue stirring with the fork, gradually incorporating flour until it is all moistened.
  • On a floured board, knead the dough just enough to bring it together. Roll the dough into a rectangle 1/2-inch thick. Fold in thirds. Turn the dough a quarter-turn and repeat, rolling and folding. Repeat once more. (The rolling and folding make a flakier biscuit.)
  • Roll out the dough again to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into rounds with a floured cutter or glass. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned and the tops slightly golden. Do not overbake.

I was a little disappointed with these biscuits. They were a bit dry and crumbly.

These biscuits were a hit with my family! They were gone in minutes.

I've tried many biscuit recipes, but this one is by far the best. The biscuits are so light and fluffy, and they have the perfect amount of sweetness.

These biscuits were absolutely delicious! The recipe was easy to follow and the biscuits turned out perfectly flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again.
