Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 0.75 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 0.25 cup low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon optional: melted butter for brushing
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 flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat yogurt and milk, stirring until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yogurt mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 2-3 times until it holds together, then pat it into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle.
Use a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter (or a similar-sized glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise evenly.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
If desired, brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven.
Serve warm and enjoy your light, fluffy low-fat yogurt biscuits!
