Recipe - Fat-Free Baking Powder Biscuits

2 cup Flour*
2 tablespoon Baking powder
Three fourths teaspoon Salt
One half cup Apple sauce
One half To 2/3 cup
Cold lowfat buttermilk,
Skim milk or milk
Substitute

In a larger bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Sprinkle
the applesauce over the flour, and cut in with a pastry blender until it is
in bits the size of split peas. The texture should be somewhat course.

Sprinkle One half cup cold milk over the flour and applesauce, and stir it in
quickly with a fork. Add only as much of the milk as is necessary to make
the dough hold together.

Gather the dough up into a ball, working it together with your hands very
briefly, and then roll it out One half inch thick on a floured board. Cut out
small rounds (about 2 1/2" to 3" in diameter) and place them on a cookie
sheet spritzed with Pam. If you aren't going to put them in the oven
immediately, chill them in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes,
or until puffed and lightly browned on top.

Makes about 15 20 biscuits.

* preferably, use white pastry flour. Allpurpose flour or wholewheat
pastry flour can be used, but the biscuits will be denser and less fluffy.
