Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This removes any lumps and combines the leavening agents evenly.
Step 3
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk and the unsweetened applesauce. Mix well until fully blended.
Step 5
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk-applesauce mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Do not overmix to ensure fluffy biscuits.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, turn the dough out and gently knead it for about 5-6 times, until it comes together. If it's too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour over the dough.
Step 7
Roll the dough out to about 3/4-inch thick circle. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the edges touch to help them rise better.
Step 8
Gather any remaining dough scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits.
Step 9
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 10
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes on a wire rack before serving warm. Enjoy your sugar-free homemade fluffy biscuits with your favorite toppings!
