INGREDIENTS

2 cups All purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
2 teaspoons Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
4 tablespoons Cold or frozen Butter ; 1/2 stick cut in small pieces
4 tablespoons Cold or frozen Crisco ; butter flavored cut in small pieces
1/2 cup Buttermilk ; regular or low fat
1/2 cup yogurt ; plain or low fat

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

Sift together the first four dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

Using a pastry blender, cut the butter and Crisco until the butter is reduced into pea-sized pieces, and are well distributed.

Stir the buttermilk and yogurt together and add, all at once, to the flour mixture. Toss gently, only until the flour is moistened.

(If the mixture is too dry to hold it's shape, work in more buttermilk 1-2 tablespoons at a time, until it holds together. If the mixture is too sticky, dust with small amounts of flour around the surface while shaping, only till stickiness is gone.

Scrape the loose mass of dough onto a lightly floured board. With floured hands, using a light touch, and handling the dough as little as possible, shape the dough into a large ball. Working quickly, gently smoothing the cracks from the surface. The dough should be soft and moist (not wet), and hold together well with no stickiness. Do not overwork the dough. (Overworking will cause the butter to warm or melt, causing the loss of airy, flakey texture, and also toughens the dough, producing a flatter, heavier biscuit.

With gentle touch, pat the dough into a 1-inch round of even thickness. Using biscuit cutter of choice, cut into desired size, lightly flouring the cutter and board as needed. Place biscuits, sides touching, into an ungreased pan with sides. (Not a cookie sheet.) Bake in the center of the oven 12-15 minutes at 425 degrees, until golden brown.
