Cheese and Yogurt biscuits

Cheese and Yogurt biscuits

• jamiesamuelsmom 16 years ago
  2 cups whole wheat flour
  1 tbsp baking powder
  1/4 teaspoon salt
  5 tbsp cold butter
  3/4 cup plain yogurt (kefir or buttermilk would work too)
  4 ounces shredded cheddar (recipe suggests brie, gouda, smoked
  mozzerella, or monterey jack in 1/2 inch cubes. I like it better
  with shredded cheese)
  
  I cut the butter into the flour and then I blend the yogurt in. I
  let it sit for at least 12 hours, then I mix in the rest of the
  ingredients. It if seems too dry after mixing the butter, flour, and
  yogurt then I add a bit more yogurt. You could probably mix all
  the ingredients together and let it sit, but I haven't tried that yet.
  
  Then when you are ready to bake, Preheat the oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment
  paper and sprinkle with flour. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds as well, if desired. (I don't bother)
  
  Meanwhile roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a
  rectangle 3/4 inch thick. Use just enough flour so it isn't sticky.
  Cut with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter or a glass, pushing straight
  down. Use flour on cutter to prevent sticking.
  
  Place 1/2 inch apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes
  until golden brown.
  
  The cheese makes these really yummy and they are nice and moist.
