Creamy Whole Wheat Flax Biscuits

From Delia Creates


Ingredients:
2 cups White Whole Wheat Flour (this is a lighter variety of wheat)
plus more flour for the forming the biscuits (about 1/4-1/2 cups)
2 *heaping* teaspoons of baking powder (approximately 2 1/2 tsp.)
1/2 teaspoon of iodized salt
1-2 Tablespoons of milled Flax Seed (to your liking)
3 Tablespoons of honey
1 2/3 c. heavy whipping cream
*Preheat your oven to 450 F and place the top rack in the middle position.
*Whisk together dry ingredients and honey.
*Stir in heavy cream with a wooden spoon.
*Transfer to a well floured counter and knead just barely with well floured hands. Dough will be somewhat wet.
*Cut biscuits in rounds or in wedges as desired
*Bake on parchment or oiled baking sheet at 450F for 10-15 minutes, until tops are cracked and are a deep golden brown.

Notes from Jill's Kitchen: These make quite a lot of quite large biscuits. I split the recipe in half and we still usually have leftovers. They aren't great as leftovers, but fresh out of the oven they are divine!
