Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Cut cold butter into flour in one of the following ways:
Use a cheese grater to grate butter, then stir into flour mixture and cut up butter with fork until mixture looks fine but crumbly.
Cut butter into small pieces, then add to mixing bowl. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut butter into flour until it is a crumbly mixture, with up to pea-sized bits of butter.
Next, in a glass or liquid measuring cup add 3/4 cup yogurt and 1/4 cup of milk. Stir to combine.
Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in yogurt/milk mixture. Stir with a fork or spoon until the mixture comes together, leaving sides of bowl. If mixture is too dry, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time and stir. It may take up to about 4 additional tablespoons of milk. You can use your hands to bring the dough together, but do not knead. Dough should be smooth and moist.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out into rectangle 1/2 inch thick with a rolling pin or a smooth-sided glass. Fold dough over itself 1/2 way from one side, then 1/2 way from the other, making a book fold.
Roll dough out again and repeat book fold. Then roll dough out into 1/2 inch thickness.
Cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Makes about 10 biscuits.
Place the rounds on a lightly greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes, until golden on tops and bottoms.

TIP: Cut straight down, do not twist glass because it can seal the biscuit layers. To finish the cut, you can wiggle/rock the glass back and forth instead of twisting.
