Buttermilk Biscuits

This biscuit is wonderful right out of the oven!  Served with cinnamon apples, jam or butter and honey - it doesn´t matter, everyone will love them.

1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup white flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup oil
2/3 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 425° F (210° C). 

Combine the flours, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl.  Add the oil and cut into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or a fork until a course meal is formed.  Add the buttermilk and mix until just combined.  If the batter is too dry add more buttermilk.  Roll out between two pieces of wax or parchment paper with a rolling pin until about 1/2 inch thick.  Cut out circles with a cookie cutter and place in a lightly greased or parchment lined baking pan.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden browned. Serve immediately.

*Makes approximately 10 biscuits with a 2 1/2 inch diameter cookie cutter.
