Biscuity Goodness

Breakfast Biscuits

A slightly sweet biscuit we generally eat for breakfast. These are good for egg sandwiches, drizzled with honey, or spread jam.

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons flax meal (optional)
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk (slightly less)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flours, baking power, baking soda, salt, sugar and flax meal if using in large mixing bowl. Cut in butter with fork until mixture resembles course meal.  Add milk and stir until moist. Drop batter in heaping spoon fulls (I use a serving spoon)  onto a greased baking sheet. I use floured fingers to press and smooth the top of the biscuits making them easier to cut and eat. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. These are best enjoyed while still warm.
