Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 0.75 cup plain yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for brushing tops)
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 until evenly combined.
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces of butter.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the plain yogurt. Gently fold the yogurt into the mixture using a spatula or your hands until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a rectangle approximately 1-inch thick. Fold the dough in half, then pat it out again into a rectangle. Repeat this folding process 2-3 more times to help create flaky layers.
Using a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out as many biscuits as possible from the dough. Gently re-roll the scraps and cut out additional biscuits until all the dough is used.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one. If desired, brush the tops with a little milk for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a rack before serving. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
