Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the milk and honey (if using) and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or the rim of a glass.
- Bake: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Serve: Enjoy the biscuits warm, with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
