buttermilk

🥗Healthier: low-fat yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk with vinegar

Low-fat yogurt is lower in calories, and milk with vinegar is a budget-friendly substitute.

In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, and salt, then whisk together.

Grate half a pound of frozen butter into the dry ingredients.

Mix the grated butter into the flour until it forms lumps.

Add buttermilk and mix with your hand until the dough loosely comes together.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 6” by 9”.

Fold the dough in thirds like a letter, then pat it out again to 6” by 9”.

Use a 3” dough cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting.

Place the biscuits on a baking tray with space in between.

Brush the tops with egg wash, avoiding the sides to prevent lopsided biscuits.

Bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
