Umm.  One word.  Delicious.

Ok, maybe a couple more words.    These are made with real ingredients.  I use unbleached all purpose flour, whole wheat flour and wheat germ….and butter.   Can you imagine taking a bite of this right now????  They’re wonderful with honey too.   These go together in 10 minutes and bake for about 17.  Have some leftover?  Quick breakfast:  nuke the biscuit in the microwave for 15 seconds and top with a fried egg and cheese.  That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Cheddar and Onion Whole Grain Biscuits

1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup wheat germ
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoons salt
½ cup cold butter, cut into ½” pieces
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup thinly sliced green onions (green part only)
½ cup plain non fat yogurt
½ cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon of milk

 1) Preheat oven to 375’. Foil line a cookie sheet, set aside.

2) In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour through the salt, whisk to blend.

3) Add the cubed butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients until there are no lumps of butter. The flour should resemble cornmeal.

4) Add the cheddar cheese and green onions, stir to blend. Make a well in the center.

5) Whisk the yogurt and milk together. Dump into the center of the flour mixture. Mix with a fork until the dry ingredients are moistened. Dump onto counter. Bring all ingredients together with your hands, knead a few times to make a dough. Dust the counter with a small amount of flour if the dough is too sticky.

6) Roll out the dough to ½” thickness. Using a 3” biscuit cutter, cut out as many biscuits as you can. Place them on the cookie sheet 1” apart. Put the scraps together trying to handle too much and cut out as many as you can. Pitch the scraps.

7) Beat the egg with the milk. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash. Bake for 14-17 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and set.   Makes 12-15 biscuits.  Serve with butter and honey. Yowza!

*Don’t have yogurt?  Substitute 1 cup of buttermilk, or 1 cup of milk with 1 teaspoon of vinegar.

Have a wonderful day!
