My kids love biscuits. Last night they ate a full dozen before I could get dinner on the table! And homemade are so yummy! And so much tastier and healthier than the kind the Doughboy makes — even if you get them for a quarter a can.
While it’s nice to make the fluffy cut-out kind, drop biscuits are much easier and hold much less room for error. This recipe is a great one to make into a mix. Simply combine the dry ingredients in a ziptop bag, mark with wet ingredients to add and baking instructions and you’re ready to whip up a batch at a moment’s notice.
Drop Biscuits
1 cup unbleached flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons light olive oil
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 450°. In a large mixing bowl combine flours, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine oil, egg, and milk. Fold wet mixture into dry and drop by scant 1/4 cup fulls onto cookie sheet. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Can you use regular flour (all purpose) and regular Wheat Flour instead of unbleached and wheat pastry flour? I already have all purpose and Wheat flour and would love a simple recipe for Baking Mix.
Thanks

Yes, that should be fine. They’ll be denser, though, with the reg whole wheat. Maybe change the proportion a little?
