Ingredients

  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 4 -6 tablespoons Splenda granular
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold
  • 3/4 cup milk, cold
  • 1 cup raisins (I soak them in hot water so they are moist after baking. Also works well with Craisins or currents)

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 450*.
  • Soak raisins in hot water so they are moist for baking.
  • Mix first five ingredients, cut in butter until it is pea sized.
  • Add milk, stir to combine (don't over mix), dough will come together when kneaded.
  • Drain raisins and stir until combined.
  • Turn onto lightly floured surface, knead 8-10 times.
  • Roll to 3/4" thickness, cut with biscuit cutter. 2" cutter makes 15 biscuits.
  • Brush with milk and sprinkle with splenda (or sugar).
  • Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 12-15 minutes.
