Lighter Buttermilk Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons cold margarine, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup buttermilk, plus
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425.
Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
Process for about 2 seconds.
Drop the margarine pieces on top of the flour and process for about 8 seconds.
The mixture will be the consistency of coarse crumbs.
Do not overprocess.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
Alternatively, cut the margarine into the flour using a pastry blade, 2 forks, or your fingertips.
Stir the buttermilk into the dry ingredients with a fork just until combined.
When the biscuit dough holds together, drop it by large spoonfuls onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are puffy and lightly browned.
Serve them immediately.
