INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup milk
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, combine flours, baking powder, sugar, and salt; mix well. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8 to 10 times. Roll to 3/4-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
These biscuits are Great! To make them even more healthy, I substituted low-fat buttermilk for the milk. I then added additional buttermilk 1 tablespoon at a time (about 3 T) until it was moist enough stirring only until it was mixed. Since I used buttermilk, I also added 1/2 teaspoon soda and also eliminated the sugar. Yum-O!- crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside! A definite keeper!!!

Ihave to ask -these look so good - did you make the round like normal biscuits? or are they cut square? They look like they were made in mini loaf pans - which would be really good for cutting some slices to make the breakfast sandwiches!
Thanks for sharing the recipe - an the idea about freezing with out the egg then making fresh eggs -I have never made them for the freezer - something about frozen egg that soundd blech to me!!
