Whole Wheat Breakfast Biscuits

I wanted to try making the usual white breakfast biscuits a little bit heartier, flavorful and "healthier" so I tried making my usual recipe with 1/2 whole wheat flour. They came out great and smell delicious, so I wanted to share! These are good for breakfast with jam, eggs or the class American breakfast: biscuits & sausage gravy!
*Notes*
[Substitution for buttermilk]:
- Method 1: Mix 225 ml whole milk + 1 Tbsp lemon juice + 2 pinches salt. Let stand for 30 minutes.
- Method 2: Mix 120 ml whole milk + 120 ml plain yoghurt

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F
- 2
Mix the flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a bowl.
- 3
Cut butter into little cubes and add to the flour. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to cut/crumble the butter into the flour until it forms pea size pieces.
- 4
Gradually pour in the buttermilk (or buttermilk substitute) and roughly mix in until the dough is just wet.
- 5
On a floured surface fold/knead the dough 4-6 times until it just comes together (you want to avoid over kneading to keep the best biscuity texture).
- 6
Press the dough out into a flat piece about 2 cm (3/4 in) thick (you can use a rolling pin too)
- 7
Dust a biscuit cutter or round cookie cutter with flour and cut out 8-10 biscuits. (dust the cutter with flour each time). If you don't have a cutter, use a knife to cut round shapes (or even just square if you're feeling lazy :) Form any leftover dough into a biscuit with your hands.
- 8
Arrange the biscuits on a lined baking sheet.
- 9
Bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.
- 10
Brush with a little melted butter and enjoy!

Cathead Biscuits Cathead Biscuits
Came across this recipe from my Muffins and Biscuits book. They say the recipe name comes from an old legend that says these biscuits are supposed to be big as a cats head. Well I took one of my biscuits and held it to my cats head. Legend is dead on. Tried to take a photo but my cat refused and threatened to call PETA on me so you'll just have to take my word on it. Maybe next time. Brandy T. -
