How to Make Yummy Whole Wheat Biscuits

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups whole wheat flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 1 1/4 cups milk, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 6-8 times.
Roll the dough to 1/2 - 1 inch thickness.
Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out biscuits.
Place biscuits onto a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite spread!
