Golden Yogurt Biscuits

1. Preheat Oven

Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the mixture until everything is well combined.

3. Add Butter

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your hands, gently smash and rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles a coarse meal with a few larger pieces of butter still visible.

4. Add Yogurt

Pour the cold yogurt into the bowl and gently stir with a flexible spatula until the dough just comes together.

5. Fold Dough

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle. Fold it in thirds, like a letter, and pat it out again. Repeat this folding and patting process three times. After the final fold, pat the dough out to about 3/4 inch thick.

6. Cut Biscuits

Using a 1 3/4-inch round cutter, cut out the biscuits and arrange them in a 10-inch cast iron skillet.

7. Bake Biscuits

Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are well-risen and golden brown.

8. Cool and Serve

Once baked, let the biscuits cool in the skillet for about 5 minutes before serving.
