Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 tablespoons shortening
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons lowfat buttermilk
Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parch-
ment paper or nonstick baking spray.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, and
baking soda.
3. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two knives, cut the
shortening into the flour mixture until the shortening is thoroughly
incorporated. Creat a well in the center of the flour and pour in
the buttermilk. Mix by hand or with a spatula just until moistened.
Do not overmix the batter, it will appear slightly loose.
4. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter evenly spaced apart onto the
prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops are dry and bottoms are
lightly browned.
