Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup corn starch plus more for rolling
  • 4 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup salted butter cold
  • ½ cup whole fat Greek style plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 egg

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Food processor directions:
  2. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In food processor, combine flour, corn starch, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to combine.
  4. Add in the cold butter in 4 - 5 chunks. Pulse about 10 seconds until the flour looks crumbly and the butter is evenly distributed in small lumps throughout the flour mixture.
  5. Add yogurt, cream, milk, and egg to food processor. Pulse until dough ball forms and gathers along the side of the bowl.
  6. Remove from bowl onto rolling surface that is lightly covered with corn starch. Knead the dough a few times turning it over onto itself and turning about 6 - 10 times.
  7. Use rolling pin to roll out to 9 X 12 rectangle. It will be about ¾ inch thick.
  8. Cut into 15 - 18 rectangles and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
  9. Bake on middle rack at 450 degrees for 8 - 12 minutes until biscuits are lightly browned.

Notes

  • TIPS in the food processor: If the dough is too wet and doesn’t stay lumped together add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and pulse. Repeat until dough is solid enough to handle. If dough is too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water and pulse. Repeat adding tiny amounts of water until all the dough sticks together in a ball.
