Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2/3 cup sugar -- basic amount, plus

2 tablespoons additional sugar

2 cups all purpose flour

2 cups cake flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup chilled unsalted butter -- cut into 1/2-inch pi

2 large eggs

1 cup chilled plain yogurt

 

Blend basic amount of sugar, flour, cake flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon

and baking soda in large

bowl. Add butter, rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse

meal. Beat eggs in medium bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon beaten eggs to

small bowl; reserve for glaze. Whisk yogurt into remaining eggs in

medium bowl. Stir yogurt mixture into dry ingredients. Gather dough into

ball.

 

Gently knead dough on lightly floured surface until dough just holds

together, about 6 turns. Roll or pat dough into 1-inch-thick round.

Using 2 1/2- to 3-inch-diameter heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out

biscuits. Gather dough scraps, reroll to 1-inch thickness and cut out

additional biscuits. Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheet. (Can be

prepared 1 day ahead. Cover biscuits and reserved egg glaze separately

and refrigerate.)

 

Preheat oven to 400° F. Brush biscuits with reserved egg glaze. Sprinkle

with the additional sugar. Bake biscuits until puffed and light golden,

about 18 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
