Delicious heart healthy biscuits to warm your heart.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup White Whole Wheat Flour (all-purpose)

1 tbsp Baking Powder

1/4 tsp Salt

1/2 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt

1/2 cup Nonfat Buttermilk (or plant based milk)

1 cup All Purpose Flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.
  3. Using a pastry cutter, gradually cut in small amounts of the yogurt and milk into the flour mixture until incorporated. The dough should be crumbly and not in a big ball.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it together. The best way is to fold it over and over onto itself and press down to work it together. Roll or pat dough into a circle about 2 inches high. Avoid overworking the dough!
  5. Using a biscuit cutter or small glass, cut out biscuits until no dough is left. Continue with remaining pieces of dough until none is left. It should make about 10 biscuits. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes (start checking at 10 minutes). Take them out when they are just turning golden brown.
  7. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
