Ingredients:
- 3 cups (375g) All-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 tablespoon (12g) Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3g) Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon (6g) Fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon (12g) Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons (85g) Unsalted butter, frozen
- 0.75 cup (180ml) Chilled low-fat buttermilk
- 0.25 cup (60g) Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon (14g) Melted butter
Instructions:
- Grate the 6 tablespoons of frozen butter using the large holes of a box grater. Keep the butter in the freezer until the very second you need it.
- Combine 3 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a large bowl.
- Toss the grated butter into the flour mixture with a fork until it looks like coarse crumbs with pea sized bits.
- In a separate small bowl, stir together 0.75 cup chilled buttermilk and 0.25 cup Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and stir gently until a shaggy dough just begins to form.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a rectangle, then fold it over itself like a letter three times. This creates the flaky layers we love.
- Pat the dough to a thickness of 0.5 inch and use a 2.5 inch cutter to press straight down without twisting the tool.
- Place the biscuits on a parchment lined sheet so they are just touching. Touching helps them support each other as they rise.
- Brush the tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes until the tops are mahogany gold and the sides are set.
- Let the biscuits sit for 5 minutes to let the internal steam finish setting the crumb.
