Buttermilk Biscuits

1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup low fat buttermilk
1 spray cooking spray

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, level with a knife. Combine flour and next three ingredients in a bowl, cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk; stir just until moist. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 4 or 5 times. Roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with light butter and honey, if desired.

Makes 7 serving (1 biscuit) for 2 points each. Butter and honey may add extra points. We like to eat these with country style sausage gravy.
