I'VE HAD this recipe in my file for a long time. I love cooking and baking and am always creating something new by experimenting with recipes. I thought the substitution of whole wheat flour gave these biscuits a little different taste. -Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana

This recipe looks sooo easy. Only problem is it's not whole wheat biscuits since white flour is included...in order to be whole wheat breads, rolls or biscuits no white flour should be included. Whole wheat means 100% wheat flour.
