Low-Fat Diner Style Biscuit

6 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • Dash Of Salt
  • 5 Tablespoons Cold Butter, Cut Into Slices
  • 3/4 cups Light Cream
  • 2-1/2 Tablespoons Sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium size mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, add the butter and cut into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. It's okay if you have small chunks of butter, that's what you want! Cover and chill for at least 10 minutes.
  2. 2
    Once chilled, add in light cream and sugar and mix until just combined. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead about 4 times. To roll them out, use a rolling pin and roll out to about the size of a 9 x 5 rectangle. Then fold the dough, vertically, in thirds. You should have a thinner, taller rectangle of dough. Roll dough back out to a 9 x 5 rectangle and then fold again crosswise in thirds. Then, roll the dough out to about 3/4 - 1 inch thickness. Using a small circular cookie cutter (or 1/3 measuring cup dusted with flour) cut out biscuits.
  3. 3
    Preheat oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place biscuits about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they've puffed up and are golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy!
