100% WHOLE WHEAT SOUR CREAM BISCUITS

• In a medium bowl, stir together flour, gluten, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Using a pastry blender, cut cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside. (If you don't have a pastry blender, use two table knives and keep cutting across the mixture. It takes a little longer, but works as well.).
