These fluffy low-fat biscuits are a delightful addition to any meal, offering a light and tender texture with a hint of tanginess from yogurt.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps the biscuits rise properly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Whisking aerates the dry ingredients, making the biscuits lighter.
Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Cold butter helps create flaky layers in the biscuits.
Stir in the yogurt and half and half until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Overmixing can make the biscuits dense, so mix until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it to about 1 inch thick.
Handle the dough gently to maintain its light texture.
Fold the dough over itself a few times to create layers, then pat it out to 3/4 inch thick.
Folding creates layers that make the biscuits flakier.
Cut the dough into rounds using a 2-inch ring cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Press straight down with the cutter for clean edges and better rising.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the biscuits to prevent overbaking.
Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings or accompaniments.
Warm biscuits are perfect with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.
