Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This removes any lumps and combines the leavening agents evenly.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk and the unsweetened applesauce. Mix well until fully blended.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk-applesauce mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Do not overmix to ensure fluffy biscuits.
On a lightly floured surface, turn the dough out and gently knead it for about 5-6 times, until it comes together. If it's too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour over the dough.
Roll the dough out to about 3/4-inch thick circle. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the edges touch to help them rise better.
Gather any remaining dough scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes on a wire rack before serving warm. Enjoy your sugar-free homemade fluffy biscuits with your favorite toppings!
