Notes

  • As it's a whole wheat biscuits , adding ACV is essential . If not ACV , you can add 2-3 tablespoon of curds.
  • Depending on the flour texture , it may take more or less milk , so start from adding 2  tablespoon of milk at a time.
  • Butter should be chilled or just softened , Don't melt the butter 
  • Don't knead the dough , just mix everything together to form dough.
  • Temperature varies from oven to oven , while baking do check for the doneness. When you touch the biscuits , it should be cooked on top and should very lightly be soft inside.  Then remove from the oven and allow it to cool , it hardens once it cools down completely.
