Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flours, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk and stir just until a moist dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a generously floured work surface and roll the dough into a ½” thick rectangle. Using a biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out biscuits. Gather the scraps and roll out to make additional biscuits.
- Place the biscuits about 1″ apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until the biscuits rise to twice their unbaked height and are lightly golden (8-10 minutes).
