Sour Cream, Cheddar and Green Onion Drop Biscuits

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
• 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
• 1 cup fat-free buttermilk
• 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
• Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 450°.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheese and onions; toss well. Add buttermilk and sour cream; stir just until moist.

Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until edges are brown. Remove biscuits from pan; cool on wire racks.

Yield: 1 dozen; 146 calories each.

VERDICT:  Nice nuttiness from the green onions, and they reheat decently.  Still, a little doughy, so toss.
