Low Fat Baking Mix Biscuits Recipes

GREEK YOGURT BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl before cutting the butter in with a fork.
• Add the Greek yogurt and mix until a dough begins to form. Don't over mix. There should be some remaining flour in the bowl.
• Empty the dough and remaining dry ingredients onto a flat surface. Use your hands to work everything together until no crumbs remain.
• Press the dough into a rectangle before cutting the dough into 6 pieces.
• Brush the 6 pieces with an egg yolk (or other options from the notes) and add to the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits have risen and their tops are golden brown.

DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Dice the butter into small pieces and place it in the freezer while you prepare the other ingredients.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. (If adding any herbs, garlic powder, or black pepper, do it here.)
• Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top. With a pastry blender (or my favorite, your fingers), cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Some pieces may be the size of small pebbles and others as large as peas.
• In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, and honey until smoothly combined. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients a little at a time, stirring lightly between additions. (If adding cheese, add it slowly as you add the milk.) Stop stirring as soon as the dough holds together. It will be very moist and seem wet.
• Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. I like to use a muffin scoop for this-you'll have 9 large or 12(ish) more moderately sized biscuits total. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the tops are golden and spring back lightly when touched. Enjoy warm.

• Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out 12 biscuits. Place biscuits on the oiled baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Immediately remove from the baking sheet. Serve warm.
