Lowfat biscuits

 3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk (I use powdered buttermilk mixed with water)

1 T canola oil

2 C  flour

1  T sugar

11/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 t  baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

11/2 tablespoons cold butter, cut in small pieces

Optional: 1 tablespoon low-fat milk, for brushing tops before baking   

    In a large bowl, whisk  dry ingredients.  Cut in butter.  Pour in buttermilk and oil.  Stir til combined.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and sprinkle with flour. Lightly knead for 30 seconds, then flatten dough and cut out biscuits. Transfer

the biscuits to greased baking sheet.  Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Serve hot.

I use this dough for the top of my chicken pot pie.
