LOW-FAT HOMEMADE BISCUITS
Biscuits are one of those items that go with an array of dishes. I've recreated this recipe to be lowfat and sugar free, so you REALLY can't go wrong with these! They brown nice and light on the outside, yet stay really moist and soft on the inside. Recently, I just made this recipe, sliced the biscuits in half, and stuffed them with a scrambled egg dish and cheese. Really tasty! Of course, they also pair nicely with a good stew, too! Or just eat them by themselves! :0) Enjoy!!

Steps:
- Combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl with a whisk.
- Mix in shortening with your fingers until it resembles a coarse crumb (or use a food processor).
- Stir in yogurt and half and half until it just comes together, do not over mix.
- Lay out a sheet of wax paper, parchment paper or freezer paper and dust with flour.
- Dump out dough and coat your hands with flour. Pat out until its about 1" thick.
- Using the paper, fold over the dough and pat out, repeating about 4 times.
- Pat out dough to about 3/4" and cut with a 2" ring cutter.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven for 14-16 minutes.
Tips:
- Using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour adds fiber and nutrients to the biscuits.
- Substituting nonfat milk for regular milk reduces the fat content without sacrificing flavor.
- Adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the biscuit dough adds a subtle sweetness and helps to keep the biscuits moist.
- Chilling the biscuit dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps to create a flaky texture.
- Brushing the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking gives them a golden brown color and a crispy crust.
