Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder, Heaping
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 4 Tablespoons Shortening
  • 3/4 cups Plus 2 Tablespoons Whole Milk Plain Yogurt

Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • 2. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.
  • 3. Cut shortening into flour mixture with hands, forks, or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles cornmeal.
  • 4. Stir in yogurt just until a shaggy dough forms.
  • 5. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 4-5 times until it holds together.
  • 6. Pat or roll out until 1/2" thick (about the thickness of your biscuit cutter).
  • 7. Push the cutter straight down and bring it straight back up (don't twist it!), and lay biscuits on a baking sheet or stone.
  • 8. Bake 11-12 minutes or until golden on top.
