Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter (cold)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or swap white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour*)
1 tablespoon baking powder (I recommend aluminum free)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (I used nonfat)
1 teaspoon honey
Grated parmesan and finely chopped fresh chives (try adding a pinch of garlic powder to the dry ingredients with this one!)
Shredded sharp cheddar and ground black pepper
Shredded gruyere and finely chopped fresh rosemary or thyme

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Dice the butter into small pieces and place it in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. (If adding any herbs, garlic powder, or black pepper, do it here.)
  • Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top. With a pastry blender (or my favorite, your fingers), cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Some pieces may be the size of small pebbles and others as large as peas.
  • In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, and honey until smoothly combined. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients a little at a time, stirring lightly between additions. (If adding cheese, add it slowly as you add the milk.) Stop stirring as soon as the dough holds together. It will be very moist and seem wet.
  • Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. I like to use a muffin scoop for this-you'll have 9 large or 12(ish) more moderately sized biscuits total. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the tops are golden and spring back lightly when touched. Enjoy warm.

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cup non-fat yogurt

Steps:

  • Combine 2 cups AP flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well.

LOW FAT YOGURT BISCUITS



Low Fat Yogurt Biscuits image

Everyone tells me that you can't make good lowfat biscuits, but I think that this recipe proves them wrong. These are tender, but hearty with a little whole wheat flour.

Provided by caetb

Categories     Breads

Time 30m

Yield 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup nonfat plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Combine all-purpose and pastry flour with baking powder and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, combine yogurt and oil.
  • Blend yogurt mixture into flour mixture just until the dry ingredients are moistened and it forms a dough.
  • On a floured surface, pat the dough out into a circle 3/4-inch thick.
  • Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the circle into eight wedges.
  • Place wedges on an oiled baking sheet or a baking stone.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until a knife iserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use low-fat yogurt. This will help to reduce the overall fat content of the biscuits.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to make the biscuits more flaky.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the biscuits warm. This is when they are at their best.

Conclusion:

Low-fat yogurt biscuits are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional biscuits. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a side dish for your next meal, low-fat yogurt biscuits are a great option.
