Molly's GarCarbs (AKA Whole Wheat Garlic and Herb Biscuits)

I was originally going to call these “Whole wheat garlic and herb biscuits,” but then my GoCo (sort of like a youth group) started naming them. So they went from “Whole wheat garlic and herb biscuits” to “Molly’s Carbs,” to “Molly’s Whole Wheat Carbs,” to “Molly’s Garlic and Herb Carbs” to “GarCarbs.” I’m also supposed to have them in green packaging when I decide to sell them because people always assume that green stuff means healthy stuff and will be more likely to buy them. I’m also supposed use Helvetica font on the packaging.

So if you ever see a green packaged biscuit mix with the name “Molly’s GarCarbs” written in Helvetica on the front, you now know where they come from. But until I get around to this awesome business plan, I will share the recipe so that you can enjoy them now instead of later.

First, gather you ingredients. You will need 1 ½ cups of whole wheat flour, 2 ½ tsp of baking powder, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp dried basil, ½ tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp garlic powder, 6 Tbsp cold butter, and 1 cup of milk.

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and herbs in a mixing bowl.

 Cut in the butter (using either a fancy tool or two forks) until you have something resembling a coarse meal.

Pour in the milk and mix everything together.

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place about a golf ball sized amount of dough on the baking sheet. This batter makes about a dozen biscuits.

Bake at 400 degrees for 13-15 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your GarCarbs!

Yes, there is one missing. I had to try them and make sure they were good!
