Success! Homemade Whole Wheat Garlic-Cheese Biscuits

I made these tonight. Yum! Here's what I did:

Mixed together in large bowl: 2 cups whole-wheat flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 Tbsp baking soda, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp oregano, and a dash of ground red pepper. (The only thing I actually measure is the flour, so the rest of these measurements are approximate.)

Cut 4 Tbsp butter into small pieces and then mixed into flour with fork until "crumbly."

Stirred in about 1/2 cup shredded cheese. (I think grated Parmesan would work really well in these, too, but I don't have any right now to try it.)

Added 1 cup tomato juice. Stirred with fork and then mixed/kneaded (only a few times) with hands.

Shaped into about 8 large biscuits and baked at 450 for 15 minutes.

I think these were the best biscuits I've made! These are so easy, and so yummy. You'll have to let me know if you try them.
