Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder (low sodium if available)
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 0.75 cup Milk (or low sodium milk alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Salt-free butter substitute for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, low sodium baking powder, and sugar.
Cut the chilled, unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently stir in the milk with a fork until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times, just until it holds together.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, placing them close together for a higher rise during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush the tops with a salt-free butter substitute while warm, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium fluffy biscuits!
