Low Fat Biscuit Recipes

Ingredients:

2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
4 tsp caraway seeds
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp freshly grated orange zest

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with
nonstick spray.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, caraway
seeds, baking soda and salt.

3. In a glass measuring cup, combine buttermilk, honey, oil and orange
zest. Make a well in the dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir with
a fork until just combined. (Dough will be sticky.)

4. On a floured surface, knead dough 8 to 10 times. Gently pat into a
3/4-inch-thick circle.

5. With a 3-inch cutter, cut out biscuits and place 1 inch apart on
prepared baking sheet. Press dough scraps together and repeat to make 12
biscuits. Dip a sharp knife in flour and cut a crisscross on the top of
each biscuit.

6. Bake biscuits for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer
to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Leftover
biscuits may be split and toasted.
