Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the low-fat Greek yogurt and low-fat buttermilk until smooth. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it. With floured hands, gently knead the dough a few times to bring it together.
Roll or pat the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather any leftover dough, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits.
Brush the melted unsalted butter over the tops of the biscuits for added flavor and moisture.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
