Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon low-fat margarine
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and 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, granulated sugar, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and mix until the cheese is evenly dispersed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk and plain Greek yogurt (non-fat), whisking until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this could result in tougher biscuits.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should have approximately 12 biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, melt the unsalted butter and low-fat margarine together in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the dried parsley and additional garlic powder (for topping) into the melted butter mixture.
Once the biscuits are out of the oven, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the warm biscuits.
Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness of these low-fat biscuits.
