Whole Wheat Baking-Powder Biscuits





Whole Wheat Baking-Powder Biscuits

Ingredients

1½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
½ cup Whole Wheat flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
⅓ cup shortening
About ¾ cup milk

Optional: ¼ cup sugar

Method


1.            Preheat oven to 450F. Sift flours with baking powder, and salt into medium bowl.
2.            Cut shortening into flour mixture, with a pastry blender or 2 knives (used scissors fashion), until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
3.            Make a well in the center. Pour in 2/3 cup milk all at once. Stir quickly round the bowl, with a fork. If mixture seems dry, add a little more milk, to form dough just moist enough (but not wet) to leave side of bowl and form ball.
4.            Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, to knead. Gently pick up dough from side away from you; fold over toward you; press out lightly with palm of hand. Give the dough a quarter turn. Repeat ten times.
5.            Gently roll out dough, from center, to ½ to ¾ inch thickness.
6.            With floured 2 ½ inch biscuit cutter, cut straight down into dough, being careful not to twist cutter.
7.            Place on ungreased cookie sheet; bake 12 to 15 minutes.
