2 c whole wheat flour

4 tsp baking powder

3 tbsp demerara sugar or xylitol

1 tsp salt

4 tbsp shortening or butter

1 c milk

Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Cut in shortening and add milk to make a soft dough, tossing ingredients with two forks. Knead for a few strokes if required. Pat out to about 1" in thickness. Cut into biscuit shapes. Melt shortening in a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet that has raised sides. Coat both sides of each biscuit in melted shortening. Place biscuits close together on the cookie sheet that had the melted shortening. Bake at 400F for 15 minutes.
