Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup fresh chives
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
flake sea salt for sprinkling
freshly ground black pepper

1
Special Equipment: KitchenAid(R) Stand Mixer; KitchenAid(R) Sifter + Scale Attachment; Large rimmed baking sheet; parchment paper; 2 1/2-in/6.25-cm biscuit cutter; pastry brush
2
Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350u00b0F/180u00b0C/gas 4. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
Attach the KitchenAid(R) Sifter + Scale Attachment to your KitchenAid(R) Stand Mixer fitted with the flat beater. Close the ingredient valve. Weigh the flours (6 oz whole wheat, 6 oz all-purpose), sugar (2 oz), baking powder (0.56 oz), smoked paprika (0.24 oz), and salt (0.08 oz) in the ingredient hopper, taring the scale between ingredients. Turn the mixer to medium-low speed, open the ingredient valve, and sift the flour mixture into the mixing bowl. Turn off the mixer.
4
Stir together the 1 cup + 3 Tbs cream and 1/4 cup chives. With the mixer on medium-low speed, pour the cream mixture in a slow, steady stream down the side of the mixing bowl. Mix just until it comes together, 30 second to 1 minute. The dough will be very shaggy. Do not overmix. Turn the mixer off. Remove the mixer bowl, and use a rubber spatula to blend in any flour remaining on the sides of the bowl. (The dough will seem dry, but not to worry, the biscuits will bake up flaky!)
5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough 2 to 3 turns and then form into a 1-in-/2.5-cm-thick patty. Dip the biscuit cutter into flour, and press straight down to cut out as many biscuits as you can. Arrange on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your hands to form the scraps into another 1-in-/2.5-cm-thick patty. Cut out more biscuits and place on the baking pan, spacing the biscuits 2-in/5-cm apart.
6
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of each biscuit with remaining 2 Tbs cream, being careful the cream doesn't drip down the side. Sprinkle each biscuit with flake sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
7
Bake the biscuits until they rise and color nicely on top and the bottoms are beautifully browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm. The biscuits are best straight from the oven, or rewarmed just before serving on the day they are baked. Leftovers can be kept in a covered container for 1 day. To rewarm, it is best to split them in half crosswise and toast the insides.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
