1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons wheat germ
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt or 3/4 cup buttermilk
1% low fat milk for glazing
Preparation Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
Add the yogurt to the bowl and mix with a fork until the mixture holds together and forms a soft dough that leaves the sides of the bowl.
On a lightly floured work surface, knead the dough 4 to 6 times. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Flour a 2 inch round cutter and cut out biscuits from the dough, using a firm downward action, without twisting the cutter.
Place the biscuits 1 inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Press the dough trimmings together without kneading, then roll and cut out biscuits until all the dough is used. Brush the tops of the biscuits with low fat milk and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Makes 16 biscuits.
