Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add butter to the dry ingredients. Using your hands, mix the butter and dry ingredients, flattening butter so it distributes more evenly. The butter pieces should be pea-sized and the flour should look like a course meal. Add tarragon and gruyere cheese and lightly mix to incorporate.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredient and butter mixture. Pour 1 cup buttermilk into the well. With a spatula, fold in the wet ingredients, being careful not to over mix. If dough looks dry, gradually add remaining 1/2 cup of buttermilk until the dough comes together but is not too wet.
Once dough is formed, pour onto a floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll dough out until it is about 3/4 of an inch. Using a circular cookie cutter, punch out biscuits and then evenly place on prepared baking sheet. Place the tray in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, or until slightly chilled.
Once chilled, evenly brush remaining buttermilk on top of the biscuits. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
