Take your grandma's biscuits for a fresh new spin with this tasty alternative.
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 cup cooked broccoli florets, mashed
1/3 cup cooked ham, chopped
1 egg, beaten for brushing (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F.
Combine flours, baking powder, salt, soda and sugar in a bowl. Coarsely grate in cold butter and toss with dry ingredients until well combined.
Work in mashed broccoli florets with your fingers, then add ham and buttermilk and work until all dry ingredients have been absorbed. (Note: It’s good if biscuit dough seems just a little bit wet. If yours isn’t, add a touch more buttermilk.)
Form dough into a ball and pat into a circle about 1 in. thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place 1 in. apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg, if desired. Bake for 20 min, or until biscuits are lightly golden and cooked through.
