Awesome. Going to try for bfast this week. Anything whole-wheat has got my attention.


I made this on a cast iron griddle while camping this weekend. They were fantastic--tender, flaky, and they split perfectly. Recommended.


Im so glad they turned out good for you!! They are fantastic!~M


How'd I miss these, Micellem??? I love whole wheat - another one to try...where will it stop?!? The cast iron skillet gave them a wonderful "crusty, crunchy" look - I love it!


Did you ever try lemon tea biscuits? They have a very good taste to them.

I made mine with butter instead of shortening with good results. The texture will be less flaky, but it was still very good, and the extra flavor is worth it. I also added a tablespoon of sugar (turbinado is nice) for a tiny bit of sweetness.
