Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 cup white whole wheat flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2/3 cup 1-percent milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together both flours, the baking powder, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Work in the butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles small peas.
3. Add the milk and stir until just incorporated. Gently knead into a ball, and then pat into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into twenty-four 1 1/2-inch squares and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each biscuit. Sprinkle an additional 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper on top.
4. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet and serve warm.
