Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the nonfat plain yogurt and oil until well blended.
-
Blend Ingredients: Gradually add the yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be moistened but still slightly lumpy.
-
Form the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle about 3/4-inch thick.
-
Cut into Wedges: Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough circle into eight wedges.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wedges on an oiled baking sheet or a baking stone, leaving some space between each biscuit.
-
Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite spread or as a side to your favorite dish.
These low-fat yogurt biscuits are not only delicious but also a healthier alternative to traditional biscuits. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a wholesome snack any time of the day!
