Description
Healthier alternative to classic butter biscuits
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 Cups of Buttermilk (See Notes)
- 2 Cups of Flour (See notes)
- 3/4 Cup Greet Yogurt (See Notes)
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the greek yogurt and cut it into the dough with a large spoon until dough resembles torn up pieces of dough.
- Slowly add milk a little at a time until the dough comes together. Note you may have some milk left over.
- Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. knead for few minutes sprinkling dough with flour between kneading because dough will be sticky.
- Once dough is smoothish form into a ball and place on well floured surface. Flour your rolling pin and roll dough out to 1 inch in thickness. Again you may need to sprinkle more flour on dough to prevent sticking.
- Using a 2 3/4 in biscuit cutter cut dough into eight biscuits. Place them on pan so that side it touching. This will help the biscuits rise high.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Gently and carefully pull finished biscuits apart and and brush tops with butter.
- Enjoy warm or store in refrigerator to eat a later date.
Notes
- While i prefer buttermilk i have alternatively use almond milk and it works just as well.
- You can alternatively use self rising flour cup for cup in place of all purpose flour just leave out baking powder baking soda and salt since self rising flour already contains these.
- I use no fat greek yogurt but the fat level doesn’t really matter any unflavored greek yogurt works for this
