Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch (plus more for rolling)
- 4 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold salted butter
- 1 cup whole fat plain yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract + 1/2 teaspoon (divided)
- 1 large egg
- 6 drops Tangerine Vitality Essential Oil
- 6 drops Lemon Vitality Essential Oil
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 10 drops Orange Vitality Essential Oil
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking liner sheet.
- In your food processor, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Pulse the food processor to combine.
- Add in the 1/2 cup cold butter in 4 – 5 chunks. Pulse about 10 seconds until the flour looks crumbly and the butter is evenly distributed in small lumps throughout the flour mixture. It will look a little lumpy and mealy.
- Add yogurt, 2 teaspoons vanilla, egg, and Tangerine and Lemon essential oils to food processor. Pulse until dough ball forms and gathers along the side of the bowl.
- Remove from bowl onto rolling surface that is lightly covered with cornstarch. Knead the dough a few times turning it over onto itself and turning about 6 – 10 times. Don’t overwork the dough with your hands. This will heat the dough and cause the butter to melt. This will make for less than perfect biscuits.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out to 9 X 15 rectangle. It will be about ¾ inch thick.
- Spread the softened 2 tablespoons of butter over the dough rectangle. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the top of the butter.
- Roll the long side of the dough up with the butter mixture on the inside. You’ll end up with a 15 inch log. Slice into 15 sections (about 1 inch each).
- Bake on middle rack at 450 degrees for 10 minutes until biscuits are lightly browned.
- While the biscuits cool mix together the milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, Orange Vitality essential oil, and the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Stir until no lumps remain. Dip the biscuits into the glaze and allow them to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
In the food processor, if the dough is too wet and doesn’t stay lumped together add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and pulse. Repeat until dough is solid enough to handle. If dough is too dry, add 1 teaspoon of milk and pulse. Repeat adding tiny amounts of water until all the dough sticks together in a ball.
If using a hand mixer, use a fork or pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until the flour looks crumbly and the butter is evenly distributed in small lumps throughout the flour mixture.
