Need: 

2 C flour

  • 3 t baking powder
  • 1 t baking soda
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/4 c granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 7 T unsalted butter, cut in to small cubes and kept cold
  • 1 C plain nonfat Greek yogurt, plus more for brushing (Symon recommends Dannon Oikos)
  • 1/4 C whole milk

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl. Add butter and work into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt and milk. Add to flour and butter mixture. Stir just until dough comes together, then knead, being sure not to over work it. Dough will be slightly sticky when finished.
4. Turn dough out on to a floured surface and press out to 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into rounds (use a circle cutter or a drinking glass), pressing straight down and not twisting. Lay biscuits onto a baking sheet. Brush tops with a little bit of yogurt, then sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until light golden brown.
