                                          • Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
                                          • Preheat oven to 400 °F.
                                          • Line a sheet pan (18" x 26" x 1") with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                          • In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, pastry flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix.
                                          • Using a fork or pastry cutter, mash margarine into dry ingredients. Add yogurt and mash into dry ingredients until the flour turns into a fine crumble.
                                          • Using a fork or pastry cutter, lightly mash cheese into the dough. Add milk. Stir until ingredients are well-blended. Dough will be very sticky.
                                          • Using a ¼ cup (#16 scoop) measuring cup, drop dough onto to sheet pan. Lightly spray the top of biscuits with nonstick cooking spray.
                                          • Bake biscuits for 13–15 minutes or until golden brown.
                                          • Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.
                                          • Serve 1 biscuit.

                                          Notes

                                          • Contains milk (yogurt, cheddar cheese, and margarine) and wheat (flour). Margarine can be a hidden source of common allergens, which include milk, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, and sesame.
                                          • For breakfast, you can credit the grains or meats/meat alternates in this recipe toward the reimbursable meal.
                                          • Meals as Teaching Moments: The cheese in the biscuit may not be easy for kids to recognize (visible) as a meat alternate component of a meal. Serving this biscuit in combination with another meat/meat alternate, such as lower sodium ham or an egg, may help kids learn about meats/meat alternates as part of a balanced meal.
                                          • Meats/meat alternates may be served in place of the entire grains component up to 3 times per week at breakfast in the CACFP.
                                          • The symbol indicates the recipe is whole grain-rich.
                                          • Creditable grains contribution calculated using the Recipe Analysis Workbook, Method C.
