Procedure

1. Preheat oven to 450 ˚F. Have an ungreased baking sheet ready.
2. In a large bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, salt, and spices. Mix well.
3. Add margarine, mix with a fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add milk. Stir until dry ingredients are moistened.
5. Place dough on a floured surface and knead a few times until dough holds together in a ball. Add a small amount of flour if dough is sticky.
6. Roll dough, or press with your hands, to ½ inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter or a glass, cut 8 biscuits. (Scraps can be put together and rolled again.)
7. Place biscuits on baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
8. Remove to a wire rack. Serve hot.
