DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Cut in margarine with a fork or pastry blender until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk to form a soft dough, being careful not to overmix. Briefly knead dough on a floured surface; roll out to about 3/4 inch thickness. Use a 2-1/2 to 3-inch biscuit cutter, or similar-size glass, and cut dough into circles. Place biscuits on cookie sheet. For a browner crust, brush biscuits with a thin coat of nonfat milk. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. | |
