Directions: |
Directions:Sift and mix all four flours together. Flour makes two batches. I usually do a standard and a sweet at the same time.
Mix with a fork to combine 2c flour mixture with rest of dry ingredients.
Proof yeast for at least 5 minutes with warm water.
Cut in cold butter. Then cut in cold yogurt. Add buttermilk and yeast. Combine with wooden spoon just until mixture comes together.
Quickly pull mixture out onto floured surface and press into a rectangle roughly 9x5". Perform three sets of tri-folds (like folding a piece of paper for an envelope) on the dough, adding flour when needed.
Cut into desired number of squares.
****If making sweet biscuits cut squares in half and place dates/date paste in center and reseal gaps. ****
Place on parchment papered cookie sheet. Depending on oven cook for either 350º for 20min or 450º for 10-15 min. |

Notes: This recipe is a standard on Saturday morning in the Koski house. I have created this recipe by trial and error using help from Macrina Bakery and New Best recipes cookbooks. But no one tries to make them healthy:) Now you can eat double. The standard biscuits make a great base for gravy!
