Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
⅓ cup vegetable shortening
⅔ cup buttermilk
1 tbsp unsalted butter, per biscuit, melted, for glazing
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl.
Add the shortening and massage with your fingers to form a crumble.
Add in the buttermilk and mix until it forms into a dough.
On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth.
Roll the dough out and flatten it to an inch thick, then use a ring cutter to cut the biscuits evenly. Remove excess dough to make another set.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then bake them for 8 minutes or until the tops are light brown.
Take out the finished cracker barrel biscuits and brush the melted butter on top. Serve warm and enjoy a light, scrumptious biscuit snack!
