- 75g butter (cold)
- 170g yogurt or buttermilk
🍳 Equipment

📝 Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Mix Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in Butter: Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add Wet: Make a well in the center and pour in the yogurt or buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork just until a shaggy dough forms.
- Fold & Flatten: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently fold it over itself 3-4 times to create flaky layers. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
- Cut: Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut the dough into pieces.
- Bake: Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
