How to Make Whole Wheat Biscuit Triangles

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Lightly butter a baking sheet.
  3. In a large mixing bowl or food processor, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup wheat germ, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or pulse in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup buttermilk and 1 tablespoon honey.
  6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir or pulse until just combined.
  7. Gradually add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky.
  8. Lightly flour a sheet of waxed paper. Place the dough on the waxed paper and flour the top.
  9. Gently pat the dough into a 3/4-inch thick circle.
  10. Using a sharp, floured knife, cut the dough into 6 even wedges.
  11. Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1/2 inch between each.
  12. Lightly brush the tops with 1 beaten egg.
  13. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
  14. Split the biscuits horizontally while still warm.
  15. Serve immediately with tomato cheddar rarebit (Recipe #297855).
