- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 1/4 teaspoon basil
- 1/4 teaspoon cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Incorporate Margarine: Cut the margarine into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or two knives until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the skim milk and quickly mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it 6 to 8 times until it becomes smooth.

Roll Out the Dough: Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
-
Shape the Biscuits: Cut the dough into 12 two-inch round biscuits using a cookie cutter or into wedges or squares if desired.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Grease the Baking Sheet: Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Arrange the Biscuits: Place the shaped biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit for expansion.

Bake to Perfection: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned on top.

Optional Herb Variation: For herb-infused biscuits, add basil, thyme, and parsley to the dry ingredients before mixing.

Serve and Enjoy!: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or as savory dumplings in soups and stews.
