Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Skim milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust it with flour to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the unsweetened applesauce to the dry ingredients and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles crumbly dough.
Gradually pour in the skim milk, stirring gently with a spoon or your hands until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; you want the dough to be soft and slightly sticky.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and transfer the dough onto it. Knead the dough gently a few times until it is smooth. Pat or roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thick.
Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits from the dough. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits puff up and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite toppings or sides!
