Lighter Buttermilk Biscuits

Here it is - the perfect lower-fat biscuit recipe. I was pleasantly surprised when i first tried this recipe and found it to be light and flakey like the more deadly ones.

Steps

Preheat oven to 425.
Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Put the flour , baking powder , baking soda , salt and sugar into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
Process for about 2 seconds.
Drop the margarine pieces on top of the flour and process for about 8 seconds.
The mixture will be the consistency of coarse crumbs.
Do not overprocess.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
Alternatively , cut the margarine into the flour using a pastry blade , 2 forks , or your finger.
Stir the buttermilk into the dry ingredients with a fork just until combined.
When the biscuit dough holds together , drop it by large spoonfuls onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are puffy and lightly browned.
Serve them immediately.
