Procedure

[edit | edit source]
  1. Preheat oven to 450 °F. Have an ungreased baking sheet ready.
  2. In a large bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, salt, and spices. Mix well.
  3. Add margarine, and mix with a fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add milk. Stir until dry ingredients are moistened.
  5. Place dough on a floured surface and knead a few times just until dough holds together in a ball. Add a small amount of flour if dough is sticky.
  6. Roll dough or press with your hands to ½-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out 8 biscuits. Scraps can be put together and rolled again.
  7. Place biscuits on baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  8. Remove to a wire rack. Serve hot.
