Ingredients
Whole wheat flour
2 cups (Sifted)
Baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons (None)
Sugar substitute
2 tablespoons (Granulated or powdered)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon (None)
Canola oil
1/3 cup (None)
Skim milk
2/3 cup (None)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and prepare a baking sheet, leaving it ungreased.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, sugar substitute, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are well mixed.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together the canola oil and skim milk until evenly combined.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently just enough to form a coherent ball, about 2-3 times.
6
Pat or roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until they are lightly browned on top.
8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
