Whole Wheat Biscuits

I found this receipt on the internet recently, but am not sure where. I made biscuit's from it recently to go with our chili and it was easy and good. I know there are a lot of biscuit mixes out there, but they tend to use all or a majority of white flour. This one was 1/2 and 1/2 and also used healthier fats, but you wouldn't know it from eating them. Good, easy and healthier, what could be better!

Whole Wheat Biscuits
3c whole wheat flour
3c all-purpose flour
1T salt
3T baking powder
1/2c shortening (trans fat free if possible) or coconut oil

Add the flour, salt and baking powder in a very large bowl. Add the shortening/oil. Mix together with a pastry blender or actually your fingers work better! Mix until the shortening/oil is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients and it resembles store-bought mix (if you know what that looks like). Store mixture in an airtight container. Makes 8c.

Drop Biscuits
2 1/2c mix
1c milk or buttermilk

Combine together in a bowl. Stir to make a soft, sticky dough. Drop by spoonfuls onto an oiled cookie sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 min. Makes about 8 biscuits.
