By slane2

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 C all-purpose flour
• 3/4 C whole wheat flour
• 2 t baking powder
• 1 t baking soda
• 1/4 t salt
• 1/8 t cayenne pepper
• 1/2 C shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 T butter
• 1 C buttermilk
• 1 t honey

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425.

In a medium bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir in cheese. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine buttermilk and honey. Add to dry ingredients. Using a fork, stir to form a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a ball. Roll out dough to 3/4" thickness. Cut into 2 1/2" rounds using a biscuit cutter. Place biscuits onto a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake for 12 minutes, until biscuits have puffed up and are golden-brown. Serve warm.
