By Dixie8686

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold butter, cut into pieces
• 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 2/3 cup fresh cranberries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda, and whisk until combined. Using a fork, pastry blender or your hands, add butter pieces to the flour and mix until coarse little crumbles remain. Toss in cranberries. Add buttermilk and stir with a spoon until just combined, not overmixing. Use your hands if needed to bring the dough together.

Use 1/4 cup measure to drop batter onto a nonstick baking sheet, or press dough on a sheet of parchment paper or cutting board, then using a biscuit cutter to shape the dough into rounds. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
