Whole Wheat Cheddar Biscuits

We had a horrible ice storm the other night. With well over 80% of our county being out of power, we were among the blessed few to have electricity still. We decided we wanted to have food ready in case any one needed a hot meal and also in case our power went next! The perfect meal to “stretch” is soup so Chicken Vegetable Soup simmered on the stove and we made a big batch of these hearty Whole Wheat Cheddar Biscuits.

This batch makes approximately 32 biscuits so  you can make some and freeze the rest for later. I ended up freezing half of them between sheets of wax paper.  When I need a quick meal I can pop them out and into the oven. Fresh biscuits in 20!
