Dipping Biscuits

Ingredients for Dipping Biscuits

• 325g white wholemeal flour or regular wholemeal flour*

• 60g unbleached strong flour

• 2 1/2 cucharaditas de polvo de hornear

• 3/4 cucharaditas de sal

• 3/4 teaspoons onion powder

• 1/2 cucharaditas de bicarbonato de sodio

• 1/2 teaspoons dried ground thyme

• 1/2 teaspoons dried rubbed sage

• 170g (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

• 240ml buttermilk plus additional for brushing biscuit tops

• 1 huevo grande

Position rack in centre of oven and preheat to 204°C. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk wholemeal flour, strong flour, baking powder, salt, onion powder, bicarbonate of soda, thyme, and sage in large bowl to blend. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk 240ml buttermilk and egg in small bowl to blend. Add to flour mixture and mix with fork until evenly moistened (dough will be slightly sticky).

Turn biscuit dough out onto floured work surface. Knead briefly just until dough comes together, about 4 turns. Gather dough into ball. Using hands, flatten dough to 3/4-inch-thick round. Using 2-inch-diameter biscuit cutter or biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out rounds. Transfer rounds to prepared baking sheet, spacing 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart. Gather dough scraps; flatten to 3/4-inch thickness and cut out additional rounds. Brush tops of biscuits with additional buttermilk.

Bake biscuits until tops are light golden and tester inserted into centres comes out clean, about 22 minutes. Transfer biscuits to rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

A LITTLE AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cool biscuits completely, then wrap in foil and store at room temperature. Rewarm foil-wrapped biscuits in 177°C oven about 10 minutes, if desired, or serve at room temperature.

FURTHER AHEAD: Dry ingredients (the first 8) can be blended up to 2 days ahead. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature.

*White wholemeal flour is milled from 100 percent hard white wheat. It contains all of the germ and bran (and nutritional value) of regular whole wheat, but has a naturally lighter colour and milder flavour. It's available at some supermarkets and specialty foods stores and from kingarthurflour.com.
