Low-fat Diner Style Biscuit

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.

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.

Preheat oven to 400ºF 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!
