Hi all,
Hoping you can steer me in the right direction on this biscuit recipe I threw together last weekend. I wanted something tasty baked *now* so made biscuits to avoid waiting for a rise
I glanced at a few recipes and guessed at how to incorporate the apple-sauce-instead-of-fat trick that I learned from my wife's banana bread. Here is what I came up with:
2c ww flour
2tsp baking powder
2tbl brown sugar
.5tsp cinnamon
.5tsp salt (roughly)
1/2c apple sauce
1-2c to 2/3c fat free milk, as little as possible to get the dough moistened
Mix dry stuff, then mix in apple sauce until coarse pea sized chunks, then pour in milk and mix until it is mostly clinging together as one piece (under 1 minute). This was with my Kitchen Aid on the 3rd or 4th setting because I'm impatient
Baked at 450*F on parchment paper until lightly GBD, for about 12 minutes.
That was actually my second attempt. The first one had 4tsp baking powder and although tasty had a significant unpleasant flavor (I believe from the baking powder). So after going down to 2tsp baking powder it was a lot better, but I still don't like a faint flavor to them that I think is still baking powder.
I'm wondering if I can incorporate fat free buttermilk powder to go even lighter on the baking powder. Any suggestion on how I should adjust the recipe to get down to maybe 1tsp baking powder?
After some reading I decided that mixing by hand is probably the way to go, since this is quiet easy to make anyhow. I'll probably try that next time.
Thanks!
