Whole Wheat Biscuits and Gravy

I realize that all health benefits go out the window when you make the gravy, but the kids need to make a whole wheat product and basic roux and what better way to combine the two. Remember I want to get them cooking in the kitchen and they are teenagers, it is pretty hard to get them to eat totally healthy if they are not used to it, I have tried it with my brothers, they always know!

Fluffy Whole Wheat Biscuits

½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp sugar
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp margarine
½ cup milk

In a med bowl, combine flours, baking powder, sugar, and salt; mix well. Cut in butter
until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Put onto a
lightly floured surface; knead gently 8 to 10 times. Roll to ¾ inch thickness; cut with
a biscuit cutter and place on an non-greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 to
12 min or until lightly browned. Serve with gravy.


Sausage gravy
1/3 lb sausage
2 cups milk
2 ½ tbsp of flour

Brown sausage in skillet. As soon as sausage is brown, turn to med
heat. Add flour by the tbsp, stirring constantly. Let the flour turn
brown before adding another tbsp (if you don’t your gravy will taste
like flour). After you added flour, add milk and stir with whisk.

Plus, you don't have to serve it with the gravy, they are great with honey!
