Homemade Bisquick--No Shortening and a little Whole Wheat

I'm not exactly Princess Biscuit. But every once in a while a recipe calls for Bisquick and it sure is nice to have a little ready-made mix on hand. I'm not going to judge you if you use the actual Bisquick from the actual store, but if you want something a little more whole-foodsy, well, here you go. It uses butter instead of shortening (which I think makes it so much more flavorful), and a big of whole wheat (though I didn't go all crazy there, but you could).
