It seems like every time it snows here in the Northeast, I get this urge to make something homey and comforting. Yesterday was no exception. We had a really pretty snowfall. Just enough to make every surface bright and glittery like a Christmas card. I made a big pot of this soup and whipped up these super easy biscuits. When I tell you super easy...truly...they could not be easier.  

1 C. buttermilk or 1 C. milk + 1 t. cider vinegar

1 C. whole wheat flour

1 C. cake flour

2 T. golden flaxseed meal (optional)

1/4 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

1/8 t. freshly ground black pepper

1 T. Parmesan, grated

1 T. finely chopped fresh herbs

2 T. cold butter, cut into small cubes

2 T. extra virgin olive oil

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

If you do not have buttermilk, combine the milk and vinegar in a measuring cup and allow to sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flours through the herbs. Using either a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter and olive oil into the flour until it resembles course crumbs.

Make a well in the center of the flour and add the buttermilk or milk mixture. Stir just to combine. Don't overwork it. It's fine if you see some specks of flour.

I like to let the dough sit for a few minutes, then using a 1/4 C. measuring cup, scoop the dough out onto a parchment lined baking sheet spacing them out about 2 inches apart.

Bake for about 12 minutes. Check them early...they should be just golden on top.
