Fat-free Baking Powder Biscuits

Description
Makes about 15 - 20 biscuits.

Ingredients

 * 2 cups flour
 * 2 tbsp baking powder
 * ¾ tbsp salt
 * ½ cup apple sauce
 * ½ to ⅔ cup cold low-fat buttermilk, skim milk or milk substitute

Directions

 * 1) In a larger bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
 * 2) Sprinkle the applesauce over the flour, and cut in with a pastry blender until it is in bits the size of split peas.
 * 3) The texture should be somewhat course.
 * 4) Sprinkle ½ cup cold milk over the flour and applesauce, and stir it in quickly with a fork.
 * 5) Add only as much of the milk as is necessary to make the dough hold together.
 * 6) Gather the dough up into a ball, working it together with your hands very briefly, and then roll it out ½ inch thick on a floured board.
 * 7) Cut out small rounds (about 2 ½" to 3" in diameter) and place them on a cookie sheet spritzed with PAM. If you aren't going to put them in the oven immediately, chill them in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
 * 8) Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 450°F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until puffed and lightly browned on top.
