    Ingredients

      1-1/2 C whole wheat flour
      1 C flour
      1/4 C granulated sugar (or equivalent sweetener)
      1/4 C poppy seeds
      1 T baking powder
      1/2 tsp baking soda
      1/2 tsp salt
      1/3 C margarine
      1 C buttermilk


    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F…Lightly grease a baking sheet.

    In a large bowl, stir whole wheat flour, flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk all at once, stirring with a fork to make a soft, but slightly sticky dough.

    With lightly floured hands, form dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently for 8 to 10 times. Pat or roll out dough into a 1/2-inch thick round.

    Using a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Place on baking sheet. Gently form scraps into a ball, flatten and cut out rounds.

    Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from baking sheet onto a cooling rack immediately. Serve warm.
