Because I am not having to travel so far back and forth to work, I now have more time to cook. I’m very happy about that because I really enjoy cooking and serving hearty meals. Of course, I also like to make sure they are at least somewhat healthful for those who eat them.

A few days ago, I made some cheddar cheese biscuits that turned out pretty good so I thought I’d share with you how I made them.


Low Fat Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup fat free yogurt
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • fat free or skim milk

Method

Mix the flour, yogurt, and milk until the dough is workable. Add the cheddar cheese and mix well. Turn out on a lightly floured board and very gently knead 5 or 6 times, making sure not to break any air pockets in the dough.

Using your biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits gently. Again, you want to retain the air pockets. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 400 until golden brown on the top. Brush with a fat free spread and serve piping hot with your meal.
