Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 C. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3 Tbs. chilled unsalted butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces
- 2/3 C. chilled low-fat (1%) buttermilk
- 2 tsp. fat-free (skim) milk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in the buttermilk just until evenly moistened. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times. Pat the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a 2-inch round biscuit cutter to make 8 biscuits. Place on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops lightly with the milk, and bake until lightly browned and puffy, 15-20 minutes.
