Handle dough with a light touch for fluffy biscuits. Biscuit dough should be slightly sticky and should be kneaded gently. Take care to keep the cutter straight as you cut the dough; the biscuits will rise evenly if you do. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons sugar |
3 tablespoons chilled reduced-calorie stick margarine, cut into small pieces |
3/4 cup low-fat or nonfat buttermilk |
butter-flavored cooking spray (such as i can't believe it's not butter) |
reduced-calorie jelly (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 10 to 12 times. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness; cut into rounds with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
4. Place rounds on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Lightly spray biscuits with cooking spray. Serve with reduced-calorie jelly, if desired.
