Everyone tells me that you can't make good lowfat biscuits, but I think that this recipe proves them wrong. These are tender, but hearty with a little whole wheat flour.

8 biscuits (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400.
  2. 2
    Combine all-purpose and pastry flour with baking powder and salt.
  3. 3
    In a separate bowl, combine yogurt and oil.
  4. 4
    Blend yogurt mixture into flour mixture just until the dry ingredients are moistened and it forms a dough.
  5. 5
    On a floured surface, pat the dough out into a circle 3/4-inch thick.
  6. 6
    Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the circle into eight wedges.
  7. 7
    Place wedges on an oiled baking sheet or a baking stone.
  8. 8
    Bake for 20 minutes or until a knife iserted in the center comes out clean.

I wonder if I did something wrong. I followed the recipe exactly and used Nancy's organic nonfat plain yogurt. The texture was perfect, nice and soft, but the taste was completely off. They were okay doused in jam, but we ended up throwing out most of the batch. Sorry to say, I will not be making these again.

    I made these with all whole wheat pastry flour as that was what I had on hand. They turned out wonderfully, soft, airy and quite tasty. I think I love these as much or more than any traditional biscuit. Thanks for the recipe

    I was pleasantly surprised by these biscuits. Unlike the first review, mine came out soft, but with a hearty flavor from the wheat flour. I do not like working with pastry dough, but there was nothing to this. Quick, easy, tasty; this will be my biscuit recipe from now on. Oh, and my husband loved them, too!

    These biscuits have a good flavour. I used whole wheat, spelt and whole wheat pastry flour and maybe they were a tad too hearty for biscuits but I'd certainly make biscuits again using yogurt . I liked the amount of veg oil called for to replace the standard 1/3 or 1/2 cup of butter. Mine were done in half the time.
