These biscuits turn out moist and amazing, almost like the favorite restaurant chain. The trick is to make sure the dough stays moist and slightly sticky when you are cutting out these biscuits. Utilizing just enough flour to make it not stick to your board is the key.
Remember to pick up your mainstays like flour, margarine, eggs, and baking soda at discount stores such as Aldi or Save a Lot. I buy a block of cheese from Aldi for $1.79 and grate my own. This gives me several meals at 1/2 the cost of national shredded bag cheese.
2 1/4 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold butter or margarine
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tsp. parsley
1/4 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl stir the first five ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbles. Stir in cheese and parsley. Put in yogurt and some of the milk, stirring until just moistened. Pat dough into 3/4 inch thickness, using as little flour as possible so dough stays very moist. Cut with biscuit cutter and place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
