  1. I made these with my kids. Of course I had to substitute some things, dry milk for the dry buttermilk, 1 cup of the flour was whole wheat and the shortening was butter flavor crisco. The batch made 10 biscuits for me. I patted them out and cut them with a glass. They baked up in about 10 minutes on an air bake pan. The kids ate them with butter and said they were good. They did look pretty dark but did taste like good falling apart biscuits. Would make again. Thanks for sharing! Dawni
