Enjoy the classic comfort of buttermilk biscuits without the guilt with this low-calorie version. These biscuits are fluffy, tender, and perfect for breakfast or as a side dish with dinner. They are easy to make and will satisfy your biscuit cravings without sabotaging your diet.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and use your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk until just combined.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times.
  6. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
  7. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!

Interesting Facts

  • Buttermilk is a great low-fat ingredient that adds moisture and tanginess to baked goods.
  • Using cold butter and not overworking the dough will result in flaky and tender biscuits.
