Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 0.75 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 tablespoons light butter, melted
- 0.5 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and optional chives into the dry ingredients, tossing to coat and distribute evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk, non-fat Greek yogurt, and half of the melted light butter. Mix until they are well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, portion the dough into 12 equal mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining melted light butter to help create a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm, either plain or with your favorite low-fat spread.
