This was such a quick recipe to put together! When shopping for ingredients, Dave and I were a little disappointed with how much white whole wheat flour costs (more than twice the price of regular flour!), but these biscuits were so tasty that it was worth it! Now I'm going to start looking for other recipes which use the white whole wheat, so we can put it to more good use!
Ingredients:
2 cups White Whole Wheat Flour (this is a lighter variety of wheat)
plus more flour for the forming the biscuits (about 1/4-1/2 cups)
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of iodized salt
1-2 Tablespoons of milled Flax Seed (we used 2 tbs. also, we didn't have milled flax, so we put whole flax seeds into the bullet blender with the spice grinding blade. worked perfectly!)
3 Tablespoons of honey (we used 1 tbs of honey, and 1 tbs of agave nectar. you could also sub 3 tbs plain sugar)
1 2/3 c. heavy whipping cream (do NOT sub with milk. the fat here is needed since there is no butter in the recipe)
Directions:
1. Whisk together dry ingredients and honey.
2. Stir in heavy cream with a wooden spoon.
3. Transfer to a well floured counter and knead just barely with well floured hands. Dough will be somewhat wet. Form into a disc approx 1 inch thick.
4. Cut biscuits into 8 wedges (or could use a round cutter)
5. Bake on parchment or oiled baking sheet at 450F for 10-15 minutes, until tops are cracked and are a deep golden brown.
With the flax and the wheat flour, you might be fooled into thinking these are a healthy breakfast. Although you will get nutrients, there is a high fat content from the whipping cream. But it is certainly better for you than traditional biscuits, and just as yummy!
