Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup White Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 5 tablespoons Butter cold, cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk cold
  • 3 tablespoons Honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, baking soda and salt. Add the butter to the flour mixture and using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal with pea size pieces. Chill in refrigerator 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together buttermilk and honey. Add mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead 3-4 times, just until dough comes together. It will still be crumbly.
  • Roll dough out to a 9x5-inch rectangle that is 1/2-inch thick.
  • Fold the dough into thirds, like folding a letter. Once you have a narrow rectangle, lightly dust the top with flour, then roll out to a 9x5-inch rectangle again that is 1/2-inch thick.
  • Once more, fold the dough into thirds like folding a letter.
  • Roll the dough to 3/4-inch thick.
  • Using a 1 3/4-inch round biscuit cutter, cut 14 rounds from the dough and place on prepared baking sheet, 1-inch apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 11-12 minutes, until golden brown and well-risen. Serve warm.
