Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 12 biscuits

Ingredients

Parchment paper
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, thinly sliced
2/3 cup lowfat buttermilk, plus additional for brushing
3 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt

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.
