My Favorite Biscuit Recipe

When we moved to the South, my quest for a homemade biscuit recipe began.  This recipe is sort of a variation from one found in La Leche League's Whole Foods for the Whole Family Cookbook. We serve these often with lentil soup or any other soup really.  My family loves them! 

1 c white flour
1 c whole wheat flour
1/2 t salt
2 t baking powder
2 T sugar
1/2 c butter
2/3 c milk

1. Mix together dry ingredients in a bowl. (I use my KitchenAid with the wire whisk attachment for steps 1 - 3.)
2. Cut in butter.
3. Add milk and stir until dough forms a ball.  Knead.
4. Pat out to 1/2 inch thickness on a floured surface.
5. Cut with cookie cutters and place on ungreased baking sheets.
6. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.

These are delicious and everyone enjoys eating them, but they are also really fun to make!  The girls love cutting the dough into shapes using cookie cutters.  Usually, we end up with hearts and stars.  Once you try them, you'll never want a whomp 'em again!
