Makes 10-12

Ingredients

1 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup trans-fat free margarine, chilled
1 cup low-fat, 1% buttermilk

Directions

Preheat oven to 400° F. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Rub in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in center of the dry mixture, then add buttermilk.

Using a fork, stir just until moistened. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or lightly roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough with a floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter, dipping the cutter into flour between cuts.

Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are no longer moist in the center. Remove biscuits from the baking sheet and serve hot.
