Yogurt Biscuits

By HazyWaters

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 5 tablespoons shortening
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup yogurt (Add just enough water to make the yogurt able to pour)
• 1 teaspoon melted shortening, to brush tops before cooking

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Grease an 8 x 8 pan.
Stir dry ingredients together.
Cut in shortening (I use an electric beater and use short bursts on low for about a minute).
Gently stir in yogurt mixture until sticky dough is formed (do not overwork dough).
Place dough on floured surface.
Dust top with flour and gently pat dough with hands until 1/2 in thick.
Cut into 8-10 rounds.
Place in pan.
Brush with shortening.
Bake 15 minutes.
Turn out of pan 5 minutes after removing from over.
Cover with tea towel and serve.
