•2 cups whole wheat flour
•7 tsp baking powder
•1/2 tsp baking soda

3.Add wet to dry. Mix well.
4.Flour counter and dough mixture.

6.Roll or pat with hands and cut with cookie cutter or clean can.
7.It is important to not use a glass as both ends need to be open. If you use a can, use a canopener to open the other end as well. If you use a glass, the biscuits will be flat.
