Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Baking sheet
• 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter (optional)
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Oven

Ingredients

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

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F for convection or 425°F for a regular oven.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
3. Add the nonfat yogurt to the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. For drop biscuits, you can scoop the dough directly onto a baking sheet. Alternatively, spread the dough onto a floured surface, pat it down to about 3/4 inch thick, and use a floured 2 1/2 inch cutter to cut out biscuits. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed.
5. Place the biscuits on a PAM-sprayed baking pan and bake for about 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Tips for Success

Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for the best rise. Don’t overmix the dough; fold just until combined to keep the biscuits tender. If the dough seems too sticky, lightly dust your hands and the surface with flour while handling it.

Additional Tips and Variations

For a savory twist, you can add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough. If you prefer a sweeter version, try mixing in a spoonful of honey or a handful of raisins.
