Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe

Preheat oven to 450°.

In a medium sized bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or two forks if you don’t have one) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Make a well in the center of the dry mixture. In a small mixing bowl, combine buttermilk and applesauce, then add to the dry mixture all at once.

Using a fork, stir until just moistened.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead the dough by gently folding and pressing until the it is nearly smooth.

Pat or lightly roll dough to 1/2" thickness.

Cut dough with floured 2-1/2" biscuit cutter.

Place biscuits 1" apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes or until golden.

Remove biscuits from baking sheet and serve warm.
