    List of Ingredients





    2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/3 cup sugar -- plus
    1 tablespoon sugar -- to sprinkle on top
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    3/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons light margarine; cold -- in pi
    3/4 cup lowfat buttermilk -- up to 1 c
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/8 teaspoon almond extract
    1 tablespoon skim milk
    1/4 cup almonds -- sliced

    Recipe




    Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray; set aside. Mix the flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, the baking powder, soda, and salt. Cut in the margarine until crumbly. In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup of buttermilk, the oil, and the vanilla and almond extracts. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the buttermilk mixture. With a fork, stir just until combined, adding extra buttermilk if necessary to form a slightly sticky dough. Do NOT overmix. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with flour. Gently pat with fingertips to 1" thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter. Place on the baking sheet. Brush with milk and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and the almonds. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden.
