Lightened Up Drop Biscuits with Berries and Vanilla Honey Yogurt

YIELD: Makes 8 servings

INGREDIENTS

For Vanilla Honey Yogurt:

1 - vanilla bean

2 cups - 2% plain Greek yogurt

3 T - wildflower honey

For the Biscuits:

1 cup - all-purpose flour

1 tsp. - baking powder

1/4 tsp. - baking soda

1/2 tsp. - salt

3 T - cold unsalted butter, diced

1/2 cup + 3 T - low-fat buttermilk

1 T - granulated sugar

3 cups - fresh mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)

DIRECTIONS

For Vanilla Honey Yogurt:

Using a paring knife, split the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds. Then transfer seeds to a medium bowl.

Add yogurt and honey to the bowl and whisk well to combine. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill as the biscuits are prepared.

For Biscuits:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and diced butter in a food processor and pulse until combined.

With the machine running, slowly pour in 1/2 cup of buttermilk and mix just until dough comes together. Be careful not to over mix.

Spoon heaping tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to make 8 biscuits. Brush with more buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

Top with yogurt and berries and serve.

TIP

Biscuits can be made ahead and frozen. To reheat place in a 325° F oven for 10-12 minutes until warmed.
