Buttermilk Biscuits

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 cups	93g / 3.3oz	All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon	5ml	Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
3 tablespoons	45ml	Chilled unsalted butter - cut small pieces
		= (or stick margarine)
2/3 cup	157ml	Chilled low-fat (1%) buttermilk
2 teaspoons	10ml	Fat-free (skim) milk

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 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 to 20 minutes.

This recipe yields 8 servings. Serving size: 1 biscuit.
