Description

These Greek Yogurt Biscuits are a simple, tender, and flavorful treat made with just two main ingredients: Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Easy to prepare and quick to bake, they are perfect for a comforting breakfast or a savory snack. The biscuits come out fluffy and golden, with an optional buttery or olive oil finish to elevate their taste.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour (unbleached)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (such as Fage brand)

Topping (Optional)

  • Olive oil cooking spray or melted butter
  • Additional kosher salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients come together into a chunky dough.
  3. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it gently by hand for about 60 seconds until you form a smooth, round ball of dough.
  4. Shape Dough: Press the dough into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Fold the top half of the dough down towards the center, then fold the bottom half up so the ends meet but do not overlap. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat this folding process two more times, then press the dough back into a 3/4 inch thick rectangle.
  5. Cut Biscuits: Flour a biscuit cutter (about 2 and 3/4 inches in diameter) and press it firmly into the dough, avoiding twisting to prevent deflating the dough. Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet close together so they touch, which helps them rise evenly.
  6. Add Topping: Lightly spray the biscuits with olive oil cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Sprinkle additional kosher salt on top if desired for enhanced flavor.
  7. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven on the middle or top rack for 17 to 23 minutes until they puff up and turn golden brown. Use the middle rack for hotter ovens and the top rack for less hot ovens.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve them warm with butter or jam and enjoy the soft, fluffy texture.

Notes

  • Do not twist the biscuit cutter when cutting as this can deflate the dough and reduce the fluffiness of the biscuits.
  • Keep the biscuits touching on the baking pan to promote better rising and fluffiness.
  • For added flavor, brush the tops with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with salt before baking.
  • If you prefer crispier bottoms, space the biscuits apart slightly, but this might affect the rising pattern.
  • These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
