Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 0.75 cup low-sodium buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 cup no-sodium baking mix
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Add the chilled and cubed unsalted butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium buttermilk and honey, stirring until completely mixed.
Make a well in the center of the flour and butter mixture, then pour in the buttermilk mixture.
Gently fold the mix with a spatula until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough to keep the biscuits tender.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick.
Using a floured biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.
Gather any remaining dough pieces, gently reform them, and cut more biscuits until all dough is used.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with a bit of buttermilk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Allow the biscuits to cool on a rack for a few minutes before serving warm. Enjoy your low sodium KFC style buttermilk biscuits!
