Cooking Light's Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits image

Even though we may be on a diet, my family couldn't stand the thought of giving up biscuits. I have been looking for good homemade biscuits that were a little lighter. I don't know if these qualify as lighter or not, but they are good.

3/4 cup fat-free buttermilk
3 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Roll dough into a (1/2-inch-thick) 9 x 5-inch rectangle; dust top of dough with flour.

  • Fold dough crosswise into thirds; gently roll or pat to a 3/4-inch thickness.
