Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, stir together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Turn the mixer on low speed and gradually add the flour to the butter mixture. Mix just until the flours are incorporated.

  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool and serve.
