This recipe was taken from: http://www.food.com/recipe/low-fat-biscuits-ww-252350?scaleto=8&mode=null&st=true
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening, cold
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
- 1/8 cup half & half light cream
- 1/2 to taste flour, for dusting
Recipe:
a. Combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl with a whisk
b. Mix shortening with fingers so mixture resembles coarse crumbs (or use food processor)
c. Stir in yogurt and half-and-half until it comes together. Do not over mix
d. Lay out a sheet of wax paper, parchment paper, or freeze paper, and dust lightly with flour
e. Dump our dough and coat your hands with flour. Pat out until it's about 1'' inch.
f. Using the paper, fold over dough and pat out, repeating about 4 times
g. Pat out dough to about 3/4'', and cut with a 2'' ring cutter
h. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 16 minutes
Makes: 8 biscuits
What I did differently:
a. I didn't have shortening, and hence used butter
b. I didn't have a ring-cutter, so I used my hand to form the shapes
Results:
I wasn't happy with the biscuits. The mixture was very sticky and moist, making them impossible to mold into 1'' or 3/4'' rings. The baked biscuits were not crisp, but tasted okay. .I will buy shortening and a ring cutter before trying again!
Better Batter Next Time: 5/10
