Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, chilled
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 0.75 cup Low-fat buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly combine the dry ingredients.
Cut the chilled butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir the Greek yogurt into the flour mixture until incorporated. The mixture will still be dry at this point.
Gradually add the low-fat buttermilk, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough 3-4 times to bring it together, then press it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Use a round cutter or a cup (about 2.5 inches in diameter) to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the scraps as needed but handle the dough as little as possible to avoid tough biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serving warm.
