Biscuits

From the kitchen of Carly

Tender, flaky biscuits made lean with Greek yogurt and buttermilk instead of cream. Cold butter rubbed into flour creates those perfect layers. Fifteen minutes at high heat gives you golden, pillowy biscuits that break apart in your hands.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 1Parchment paper
  • 12 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
  • 12 teaspoons baking powder
  • 11/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 11/2 teaspoon salt
  • 15 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, thinly sliced
  • 12/3 cup lowfat buttermilk, plus additional for brushing
  • 13 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425&Deg;F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Rub butter into flour with fingertips until butter pieces are coated and about the size of peas. Stir in buttermilk and yogurt until just combined. Scrape dough onto a lightly floured surface; very gently shape it into an 8"x 6" rectangle, being careful not to overwork dough. Cut into 12 square biscuits. Transfer biscuits to baking sheet; brush tops with buttermilk. Bake until puffed and lightly golden, 15 minutes; serve.
