Number of Servings: 9

Ingredients

    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    4 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup canola oil
    1 cup lowfat buttermilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 450*F.

Combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add the oil and 3/4 cup buttermilk and mix lightly. Add additional buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough is slightly sticky.

DO NOT OVER MIX! The more you mix biscuits, the tougher they get.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured countertop and knead about 10 times. Roll out to about 3/4 of an inch thick and cut them with a 2.5 inch cutter. To give you an idea of the size, my grandma used to use an old Tupperware kid's cup.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

These buttermilk biscuits are delicious. They have a nice golden brown crunchy top and a soft interior.
