Serving Size: Makes 20 biscuits

Amount Ingredient

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup shredded low fat cheddar cheese plus 1 tbsp for sprinkling

1 tablespoon each chopped fresh chives and parsley

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup plain nonfat yogurt or 3/4 cup buttermilk

Preparation Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup cheese, herbs, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
Add the yogurt to the bowl and mix with a fork until the mixture holds together and forms a soft dough that leaves the sides of the bowl.
On a lightly floured work surface, knead the dough 4 to 6 times. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Flour a 2 inch round cutter and cut out biscuits from the dough, using a firm downward action, without twisting the cutter.
Sprinkle the biscuits with remaining cheese and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Makes 20 biscuits.
