TIPS

Here are some tips for Whole Wheat Biscuit:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter creates flaky layers, resulting in a better texture.
  • Do not over-mix: Stir just until the dough comes together to avoid a dense biscuit.
  • For extra softness: Brush the top with a little bit of melted butter after baking.
  • Enhance flavour: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract for extra warmth.
  • Even baking: Use a preheated baking sheet to ensure even cooking.

VARIATIONS

  • Dairy-Free: Use almond or oat milk instead of regular milk and replace butter with coconut oil.
  • Vegan: Swap honey for maple syrup and use a plant-based butter alternative.
  • Gluten-Free: Substitute whole wheat flour with oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Sweet Biscuit: Add ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon and a little extra honey for a naturally sweetened biscuit.
  • SavSavouryscuit: Reduce honey to ¼ teaspoon and mix in a pinch of garlic powder or grated cheese.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap the biscuit in cling film and store it in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month.
  • Reheating: Warm in an oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5 minutes or microwave for 10–15 seconds.
