Honey Whole Wheat Biscuits

Hearty Honey Whole Wheat Biscuits that are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside and slightly sweet throughout!

I’m a big fan of biscuits! They’re easy to bake and oh so comforting to eat! I grew up eating them for breakfast with a dab of butter and a spread of jam or a big spoonful of sausage gravy. Mmmm! We also serve them alongside homestyle meals such as fried chicken, beef stew and meatloaf. Comfort food classics made even better with a biscuit by their side!

These Honey Whole Wheat Biscuits are our new fave as they’re making morning appearances quite often these days! I can have them ready in less than 30 minutes and everyone loves them!

They’re made healthier and heartier from the whole wheat flour, but still super tender with a nice fluff in every bite. A little butter goes a long way as they have the most amazing buttery texture to compliment the sweetness of the honey and the slight saltiness throughout. Biscuit perfection!

They keep well for a few days and are awesome when sliced and reheated under the broiler for a few minutes with a little butter & honey melting on top. Heavenly!

So go ahead and bake a pan for the fam! They’re bound to love ‘em!

So cravable and comforting! Enjoy!

Hearty Honey Whole Wheat Biscuits that are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside and slightly sweet throughout!

Author: Maegan - The BakerMama

Recipe type: Breakfast

Serves: 8

Ingredients

Biscuits:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Glaze:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream, honey and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined and then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead with your hands until well combined.
Pat the dough out onto the floured surface to about 1-inch thickness. Cut into circles with a round cutter and place on the prepared baking sheet. Gather remaining dough and repeat cutting into rounds until all dough has been used.
In a small bowl, whisk together the other 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon honey. Brush onto biscuits. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown around the edges and on top.
Serve with butter and more honey. To reheat the next day, slice them in half, spread a little butter on each half and place on a baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until perfectly toasted.
