List of Ingredients

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons stick margarine
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon low-fat (1%) milk




Recipe

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt until blended. Cut in the margarine with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 2-3 minutes. Add the chives and stir to blend. Add the buttermilk; stir until just combined (do not overmix).

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 3-4 times. Flatten the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place on the prepared baking sheet. With a pastry brush, brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the milk.

Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
