These Southern Honey Yogurt Biscuits are a delightful twist on traditional biscuits, offering a tender texture and a hint of sweetness.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution and a lighter texture.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Keep the butter as cold as possible to create flaky layers in the biscuits.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
Add the yogurt and honey to the dry mixture and gently mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead it gently 4-5 times, then roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Use a light touch when kneading to avoid overworking the dough.
Cut out biscuits using a 2 1/2-inch cutter and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Press straight down with the cutter without twisting to help the biscuits rise evenly.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Serve the biscuits warm with your favorite toppings or as a side dish.
Enjoy these biscuits fresh out of the oven for the best flavor and texture.
