-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup sifted cake flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese

2 tablespoons cold butter

3/4 cup buttermilk

A favorite recipe for reduced-fat biscuits comes from the " The Eating Well

Recipe Rescue Cookbook " (Eating Well Books, 1994).

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In mixing bowl, stir together flours, baking

powder, baking soda and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 table knives, cut

in cream cheese and butter until pea-sized lumps form. Stir in buttermilk

with fork.

 

Gather dough into ball and knead it several times in bowl until

smooth. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Pat into smooth

1/2-inch-thick disk. With 3-inch cutter, cut out rounds. Repeat with

dough scraps until you have 10 biscuits. Brush tops with skim milk.

 

Place biscuits on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or

until golden.
