Ingredients

• 2 cups Rye flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 tablespoon Molasses

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add the chilled, diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and molasses until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the milk-molasses mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together. Avoid overmixing—the dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather and re-roll the scraps as needed.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite meal.
