Buttermilk Biscuits

Light & Tasty

I scribbled down this recipe when our family visited the Cooperstown Farm Museum more than 25 years ago. I must have gotten it right, because these biscuits turn out great every time.—Patricia Kile of Greentown, Pennsylvania

SERVINGS: 8

CATEGORY: Lower Fat

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter
  • 3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon fat-free milk

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough buttermilk just to moisten dough.
