Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Skim milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust it with flour to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the unsweetened applesauce to the dry ingredients and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles crumbly dough.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one.
Step 8
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits puff up and the tops are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite toppings or sides!
