Yogurt-Cream Biscuits

"The trick to a fluffy light biscuit is to grate the frozen butter instead of cutting it in with a pastry knife, this method will produce a wonderful fluffy biscuit, that just melts in your mouth. Plan ahead the biscuit dough needs to sit in the fridge for the suggested time before baking, also the recipe does not call for any sugar, although I have never added any sugar, I imagine that sugar may be added if you prefer a sweeter biscuit. Make certain that your butter is completely frozen and is cut in one long piece for easier grating."

  1. We too loved the color and they were amazingly light and fluffy, however, we thought they were very bland. I perked the taste up a bit by spreading jellied cranberry sauce and adding turkey making a yummy sandwich.
     
  2. So easy and absolutely excellent. I halved the recipe--we had 6 gorgeous biscuits. Quite amazingly light and fluffy and beautifully browned, even tho I did leave out the cream on the top. Thanks, Kitten!
