Buttermilk Biscuits

From:  Bob’s Redmill Natural Foods, Inc.

4 cups white unbleached flour

3 3/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

2/3 cup sugar (I used coconut sugar, which lent a nice speckledness to the biscuit)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter (I used Earth Balance margarine, which is salted, so I omitted salt.)

3 1/2 cups buttermilk (I used Kefir)

2 tablespoons flaxseed 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450º F.  Mix white flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda thoroughly.   Add butter and mix until evenly distributed. Add buttermilk and evenly mix until dough forms.

Roll dough out on floured surface, sprinkle flaxseed over dough, and cut with and 2 1/2 to 3 inch cutter.  Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake them in oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.  Makes 2 dozen biscuits.
