Ingredients
2 cup White Whole Wheat Flour (by TEXASDY) 1 cup Flour - Gold medal all purpose flour 2.5 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Salt 1 stick COLD Butter, unsalted 1 cup, chopped Walnuts 1 serving Egg white, large 1 cup Buttermilk
Directions
Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together the flours, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut butter into pats, then work it into the dry ingredients to form coarse crumbs. Toss in nuts.
Whisk together the egg and milk. Add to flour mixture and blend lightly until the dough is just evenly moistened. (Do not overwork the dough or your biscuits will be tough!)
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and fold it over onto itself three or four times until it comes together (Again, use a gentle hand and do not overwork the dough!)
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut into rounds. Pat the scraps together and cut additional biscuits.
Transfer biscuits on the parchment lined pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until tops are just golden.
Remove from over and serve warm.
