Cooking Light'S Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    9 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2 cups)
    2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    5 tablespoons butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
    3/4 cup fat-free buttermilk
    3 tablespoons honey
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
    Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Chill 10 minutes.
    Combine buttermilk and honey, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture; stir just until moist.
    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times.
    Roll dough into a (1/2-inch-thick) 9 x 5-inch rectangle; dust top of dough with flour.
    Fold dough crosswise into thirds (as if folding a piece of paper to fit into an envelope).
    Reroll 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.
    Cut dough with a 1 3/4-inch biscuit cutter to form 14 dough rounds.
    Place dough rounds, 1 inch apart, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    Bake at 400\u00b0 for 12 minutes or until golden.
    Remove from pan; cool 2 minutes on wire racks. Serve warm.
