No milk, no eggs, no problem. These biscuits utilize Greek yogurt for creaminess, and carbonated water or seltzer water for an added light flakiness! The result is a biscuit that melts in your mouth! Yum!

Time 25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup yogurt (Add just enough water to make the yogurt able to pour)
1 teaspoon melted shortening, to brush tops before cooking

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Grease an 8 x 8 pan.
Stir dry ingredients together.
Cut in shortening (I use an electric beater and use short bursts on low for about a minute).
Gently stir in yogurt mixture until sticky dough is formed (do not overwork dough).
Place dough on floured surface.
Dust top with flour and gently pat dough with hands until 1/2 in thick.
Cut into 8-10 rounds.
Place in pan.
Brush with shortening.
Bake 15 minutes.
Turn out of pan 5 minutes after removing from over.
Cover with tea towel and serve.

Tips:

Choose the Right Yogurt: Opt for plain yogurt with a fat content of at least 2%. Greek yogurt can also be used, but it may result in a denser biscuit.
Proper Chilling: Always chill the yogurt and butter before starting the recipe. This will help create flaky layers in the biscuits.
Use Cold Butter: Keep the butter cold and cut it into small pieces. This will prevent the biscuits from spreading too much during baking.
Work Quickly: Handle the dough as little as possible and work quickly to prevent the butter from melting and making the dough tough.
Avoid Over-Mixing: Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined. Over-mixing will result in tough biscuits.
Shape and Cut: Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the biscuits. Make sure to dip the cutter or glass in flour before each cut to prevent sticking.
Bake at a High Temperature: Bake the biscuits at a high temperature (450°F or 230°C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
