Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cut into small pieces)
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour for dusting
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Add the cold butter pieces into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, mix together the low-fat buttermilk and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
Step 5
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Step 6
Lightly flour a clean surface with 0.25 cup of flour and turn the dough out onto this surface.
Step 7
Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half over itself and gently pat again. Repeat this folding process 2 more times.
Step 8
Using a lightly floured 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are close together to help them rise nicely.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat KFC-style buttermilk biscuits warm!
