Helpful hints

• Biscuits leavened with baking soda and buttermilk are lower in phosphorus compared to baking powder biscuits.
• One biscuit served with 1/3-cup Country Gravy (See Country Gravy recipe under Sauces & Seasonings) provides 198 mg sodium and 98 mg phosphorus. Be aware that portion size can make a difference in how much sodium and phosphorus are consumed.
