Whole Wheat Biscuits

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 Tbls. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Beat together the milk and 1 1/2 eggs (or 1 extra large egg). (Start with 1 egg and the milk, then beat the second egg separately and add half of it to the milk.)

Roughly cut the butter into the flour mix, leaving some largish chunks of butter. Stir in the milk mixture until just mixed.

Gently knead the dough on a floured surface until it holds together. Gently shape into a large, flat rectangle. Fold the rectangle into thirds (like folding a letter) and gently press down. Cut into 8 equal pieces, or however many biscuits you want. You can leave them in this shape, or gently reshape them by tucking the edges.

Place on a baking sheet that is greased, or lined with parchment. Use the remaining beaten egg to glaze the tops. Sprinkle seasonings on top if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
