Southern Style Biscuits made with Olive Oil and Greek Yogurt

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil (I used extra virgin)
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 Celsius).

2. 2

   In a large bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

3. 3

   Add the olive oil and rub with your fingers, until the flour mixture is a bit like crumbs.

4. 4

   Mix the yogurt and milk in a small bowl. Add to the flour and mix slowly with a spoon until everything is incorporated. If it is too dry, add a bit of milk. The dough will be sticky and soft.

5. 5

   Add a bit of flour to your hands and surface and shape dough in a ball. Spread out on a surface, and fold again a couple of times. Pat out so thickness is about 1 inch, cut in 2 to 2 ½ inch (5-6 cm) circles (I used a small glass).

6. 6

   Place on a baking pan, one slightly touching the other (according to Alton Brown this helps them rise more).

7. 7

   Bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden (mine were done at 15 minutes, so start checking them a bit before).

8. 8

   Remove and enjoy.
