ALMOST ZERO LOW-FAT BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° convection or 425° regular.
• Combine 2 cups AP flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
• Add 1 1/4 cup nonfat yogurt. Fold in until all dry is incorporated. If you use Greek yogurt, you may need a tablespoon or so of milk.
• The easiest is to do 8 drop biscuits. If you want to cut biscuits, spread the dough on a floured surface about 3/4 inches thick. You can cut six 2 1/2 inch biscuits or eight 2 inch biscuits.
• Place your biscuits on a PAM sprayed baking pan.
• Bake until golden brown. About 12-15 minutes.

VEGAN FAT FREE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F and coat a cookie sheet with a thin layer of oil.
• whisk dry ingredients together, then stir in applesauce.
• Drop onto cookie sheet in biscuit size drops (should make 6 - they will be sticky).
• Bake 8 -10 mins until lightly brown.
• Smother in your favorite vegan gravy or top with jam. They are especially good topped with a spinach "cream" sauce. The oat flour makes them much more tender than wheat as there is no gluten.
