Wheat Biscuits {Egg-free}

Here is another attempt to make some of our favorite recipes a little healthier.  Again, I replaced half of the all-purpose flour with whole-wheat flour.  I know these still aren't whole wheat biscuits since I use half and half white and wheat flour.  But it is still a big increase in fiber when compared to biscuits only made with white flour!  Whole wheat flour has 6 times more fiber than all-purpose white flour.  So, by substituting just half of the flour with whole wheat, these biscuits now have 3 times the fiber!


Top these with a little margerine and grape or plum jelly!  Delicious!!
