Whole Wheat Yeast Biscuits

3- 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (5 0z) can evaporated milk
2 eggs
1 -1/2 tsp salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
~2 cups bread flour

Dissolve yeast in water. Mix with sugar, butter, evaporated milk, eggs, salt and whole wheat flour. Beat until smooth. Add just enough bread flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth ~ ten minutes. (I just left it in my kitchenAid and used the dough-hook to knead the dough... it works just as well and doesn't use up a reservoir of energy) Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top of dough blob. Cover and let it rise in a very warm place until doubled, about an hour and a half. Punch down, divide into thirds. Let rest about 5 minutes. On a floured surface, roll out each portion to 1/2 inch thick cut with a 2-1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased pan. Cover and let rise 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes until golden. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen. (Because the recipe makes so much, I froze some of the dough after I formed the biscuits so that I can raise and bake them fresh later)

Serve warm with butter and honey or jelly. They are fabulous!
