Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour , or all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar optional
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil chilled in the fridge
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk , cold, or buttermilk

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 425℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bow, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, and sugar if using.
  • Add chilled olive oil and using a fork or your hands, rub it into the flour until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Pour in the cold non-dairy milk or buttermilk and, using a wooden spoon, stir until a dough forms (add a bit more milk if it’s too dry).
  • Turn dough out on to a clean, lightly floured surface. Roll dough (or press with fingers) until it is in a 1- inch thick rectangle.
  • Use biscuit cutter (or jar or cup) to cut biscuits into desired size and shape OR use a tablespoon to make drop biscuits.
  • Place biscuits on the baking sheet, place in the oven, and bake for about 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let sit on sheet for 5 minutes. Serve slightly warm.
