You’ll Need:

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Directions : Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter.

Combine the egg, applesauce and sour cream; mix quickly with the dry ingredients. Turn out onto a floured surface; knead lightly then roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness.

Cut into 2-inch biscuits and arrange on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the cheese over the biscuits and bake 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
