Ingredients
2
cups
all-purpose flour
1
cup
butter
1
cup
yogurt
½
teaspoon
baking soda
½
teaspoon
salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the yogurt until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times just until smooth.
Roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut with a round biscuit cutter and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
Ensure the butter is cold before adding it to the flour. This helps create pockets of steam that lead to a flaky texture.
Don't overmix the dough. It can result in tough biscuits.
Cut straight down when cutting the biscuits out to avoid sealing the edges, which can prevent the rise.
Bake the biscuits close together. It helps them rise upward instead of spreading outward.
Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack to prevent them from getting soggy.
