A couple days ago I woke up at about 0530. I don’t usually get up that early unless I have to work. However I woke up naturally that early fairly well rested. Since I was up SO early I decided to take advantage of my early waking and whip some a yummy breakfast.

I decided to make my mom’s sweet milk biscuit recipe since these biscuits are one of my favorite light breakfasts. They are very soft, and delicious. They are sweet enough to be considered breakfast, but not sweet enough to be a dessert.  Straight out of the oven these biscuits are simply divine and it’s impossible to have just one:P

Here is the recipe (my mom’s recipe) adapted by me

Mom’s Sweet Milk Biscuits
(makes 9-12 medium to large biscuits)

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup ground almonds
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ cup margarine (my mom uses olive oil in her recipe and they turn out fabulous too)
½ cup raisins
1 large egg (beaten)
2/3 cup skim milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl add the flours, sugar, and ground almonds stir to combine. Add the baking powder and salt and stir until well mixed. Crumble in the margarine and mix well. Add the beaten egg, and milk, and mix to form a soft dough ( I knead the dough once mostly mixed since it seems to combine best this way). Form desired amount of biscuits by rolling each one into a ball and flattening the top once on a cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 11-14 minutes until a tooth pick comes out clean when poked. Serve warm or cool.
