Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the non-fat plain Greek yogurt until just combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the low-fat buttermilk, stirring gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
Step 7
Using a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, touching each other slightly for them to rise well.
Step 8
Re-roll any scraps of dough and continue cutting until all dough is used.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy on their own or with a light spread of honey or fruit preserves.
