Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 0.75 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
Step 3
Add the chilled and cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk with the apple cider vinegar. Allow it to sit for a minute to slightly thicken.
Step 5
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a fork or spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Step 7
Using a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut more biscuits until all dough is used.
Step 8
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious low sodium buttermilk biscuits!
