in this video I’m going to be showing how I make fresh miled whole wheat Buttermilk Biscuits the recipe link will be in the description down below thank you so much for watching the first thing you’ll want to do is to freeze your butter put your butter in the freezer while you are preparing the rest of your ingredients now it’s time to Mill your grain you’re going to Mill 300 G of soft white wheat now transfer your fresh melt flour to a freezer safe mixing bowl and we’re going to put this in the freezer for 15 minutes to make sure that our flour is not warm from the grain meal we want all of our ingredients to remain cold so that it does not melt our butter after 15 minutes add 24 G of aluminum free baking powder to your flour 5 G of salt and stir it [Music] around now we’re going to add one stick of butter and we’re going to use a grater to grate the butter directly into the flour alternatively you could also just use refrigerated butter and use a pastry cutter or Fork to cut the butter into the flour as well now add 265 G of buttermilk milk or cafir to your flour mixture I am using cafir I’m mainly using this because I have so much of it on hand since we do make it homemade on top of your buttermilk or cafir add 16 G of honey and then go ahead and stir that well stir it until all of the flour is fully Incorporated we don’t want to over mix but we also don’t want any dry bits of flour so do Stir It Well I find that with the soft white wheat it doesn’t tend to over need um very easily as if you were maybe using um white flour also I did forget to mention when you Mill your flour do make sure to Mill some extra if you didn’t Mill extra um when you’re done mixing your um dough go ahead and just Mill some extra flour that way you can have some for Dusty your countertops I tend to have extra flour in my freezer and so that is what I’m using now to dust my countertops so you’re just lightly dusting your countertops and you’re going to take that biscuit dough and place it right in the middle of your flour that you’ve laid down now we’re going to roll out our biscuit dough and you want to use a flowed rolling pin um I prefer this over my hands because I do want to be cautious just not to melt the butter roll out your dough into a 9 in rectangle and then you’re going to fold in the short edges towards the middle of the rectangle and then you’re going to repeat again by flattening it out into a rectangle fold in each short Edge into the middle of the rectangle and then you’re going to repeat this about three times I lost count when I was making this because I was talking to my kids and just count but you only need to do it about three times a bench scraper really comes in handy for this to get under the dough and to lift it it’s also helpful if your dough is sticking to take your bench scraper and just slide it under the dough to um loosen up anything that might be stuck at the bottom if I at all look odd doing this it’s because I am baby wearing and it’s actually kind of hard for me to reach the other end of the because I do have a baby strap to my chest and so it was getting a bit difficult to um reach the other end of The Rolling Pin but I’m sure you all can do this much more gracefully than I’m doing here but I hope that my demonstration is still helpful now it’s time to cut out our your biscuits and I’m using a 2.3 in biscuit cutter um and with this I got 11 biscuits out of it and I’m lightly flouring the biscuit cutter so that it doesn’t stick to the biscuits and then I also will sometimes use my bench scraper to scrape under the dough to help to lift the biscuits when you are pressing out your biscuits do be sure to not twist your biscuit cutter because we do not want to seal the edges because that will hinder your biscuits from Rising once you have cut out as many biscuits as you can use the remaining dough and shape it back into a nice neat rectangle again so that you can continue to cut out more biscuits I’m putting my biscuits on a cast iron pan but you could also do this on a baking pan you can line your baking pan with parchment paper if you like but you just want to make sure that your biscuits are either touching or at least almost touching that helps them all to rise nicely again I am trying not to handle the dough with my hands too much because I don’t want my butter to melt um keeping the butter cold allows for your biscuits to have nice layers um when the butter melts in the oven also do be mindful not to use too much flour when you’re rolling out your biscuits um so that it doesn’t make your biscuits um too dry as you can see I’m getting down to the last bit of my biscuit dough the last biscuit is always a little wonky um that’s fine I just always try to be sure not to let any go to waste I’m just going to take this extra little piece of dough and just hide it underneath um my last biscuit now it’s time to bake at 450° for 15 minutes while it’s baking prepare your melted butter and honey mixture and then after the 15 minutes is up brush the tops of your biscuits with the h butter mixture after you’ve brushed the tops put them back into the oven for 3 to 5 more [Music] minutes and here is the finished product delicious freshmed Buttermilk Biscuits thank you so much for watching if you have any questions feel free to comment down below and if you try these biscuits I’d love to know your opinions down below as well thank you

  1. Looking forward to trying this, being from the south it’s always been white Lily self rising flour but I’m trying to get good nutrition in our diets. Thank you for the recipe

  2. Thank you for this! I have been milling and bread baking for years but have been intimidated by biscuit making! You are an excellent teacher/communicator! The video was great – even if you felt it was awkward angles! A mommas life tending to our littles!

  3. Great instructions, thank you. Can you add a short video of pulling the biscuit apart, please? For me, that's the defining moment for a biscuit.

  4. Absolute genius to use kefir in place of buttermilk! Aren't the concentric circle cutters the best? Thank you for another excellent video.

  5. ❤ My husband is the biscuit maker. He always makes them so fluffy. When he grinds fresh flour for biscuits, they are not as fluffy. I will show him this video and hopefully get him to try it your way.
    We are LOVING your sandwich bread and cinnamon raisin bread!! I make bread daily and the cinnamon bread every other. I also tries the sourdough sandwich bread and that was the best ever!!! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing recipes! AND with littles strapped to you and watching. What a joy!!! God bless my sister in Christ!

  6. I can't wait to try this! I hope you can come up with a FMF English muffins and scones recipe. : )

  7. Is it normal to get something popping up to put in my email address to unlock print button when I try to print your recipe? It also says for me to consent to receiving emails and personalized ads. Have you heard of this happening from others?

  8. Girl!…I think all of my comments start with, “Girl!” 😂…I made these biscuits tonight and it was the first time in my 61 years that I actually made delicious biscuits! I did not brush them with the honey butter. Thank you so much! Your cinnamon rolls are my next try.

  9. Those look amazing. My grandmother and my mom always made homemade buttermilk biscuits by using Crisco instead of butter and rolling them by hand. And also with self rising flour. I make them like that now but never with fmf. I like to flatten mine and have thinner crispy biscuits. Do you think those changes would work with your recipe? If so do you think I would use the same amount of salt and baking powder as well?

  10. Can’t wait to try these. I can tell by your picture they look light and fluffy. I have gone to 100% w/w four and gave away all my white flour. Working on mastering my recipes with w/w flour. Keep the recipes coming!!
