Ingredients Overview

Whole Wheat Flour: Adds fiber and a hearty texture.
Carrots: Provide natural sweetness and moisture.
Butter: Ensures a rich, flaky texture.
Baking Powder: Helps the biscuits rise.
Milk or Yogurt: Adds tenderness and moisture.

Ingredients (Makes 8-10 Biscuits)

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
½ cup grated carrots
⅓ cup milk (or plain yogurt)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the grated carrots.

Step 2: Add Liquid Ingredients

Pour in the milk and honey, stirring until just combined. If the dough feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon more milk.

Step 3: Shape the Biscuits

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times. Roll out to ¾-inch thickness and cut into rounds or squares.

Step 4: Bake the Biscuits

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with butter, jam, or honey.
