Gruyere Whole Wheat Biscuits with Herbs
- 2 cups pastry flour, whole wheat
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 7 tablespoons butter, unsalted cold and cut into small cubes
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 118 teaspoons thyme fresh
- 1/4 teaspoon marjoram dried
- 13 cup gruyere cheese grated
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Stir in the cold butter using your fingers to break up the chunks of butter into slightly flattened bits.
- The dough will still be very powdery and should not come together yet.
- Stir in the buttermilk, all the herbs and the cheese and mix gently with a wooden spoon just until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- If you still have more dry flour in the bowl, add a few more drops of buttermilk until it forms into a dough and do not over mix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it together with floured hands.
- Flatten into a thick disk, wrap in plastic or wax papper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to several hours.
- While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or baking mat.
- Put the disk of dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to 1/2- inch thick.
- Use a floured 2 to 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut as many biscuits as possible, dipping the cutter into flour with each biscuit and arranging on the prepared baking sheet.
- Collect the dough scraps, roll and finishing cutting out more biscuits.
- Bake for 21 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Serve warm.
