Ingredients

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (such as Fage brand)
2 cups self-rising flour (unbleached)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
Olive oil cooking spray or melted butter (optional for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Mix well until the dough comes together and looks chunky.
Step 3: Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it by hand for about 60 seconds until it forms a smooth, round ball.
Step 4: Use your hands to press the dough into a rectangle about ¾ inch thick. Fold the top half toward the center, then fold the bottom half toward the center so the two ends touch but don’t overlap. Turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat this folding process two more times. Finally, press the dough into a ¾ inch thick rectangle again.
Step 5: Dip a biscuit cutter (about 2¾ inches) in flour, then press it straight down onto the dough without twisting to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits close together on the lined baking sheet, touching each other.
Step 6: Lightly spray the biscuits with olive oil cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with kosher salt if you like extra flavor.
Step 7: Bake on the middle or top rack of the oven for 17-23 minutes until the biscuits are puffed and golden. Use the middle rack if your oven runs hot, or the top rack if it runs cooler.
Step 8: Remove biscuits from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking instead of using cooking spray.
Add herbs like rosemary or chives to the dough for a savory twist.
If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
Handle the dough gently to keep it light and fluffy; avoid over-kneading.

Storage

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them longer, freeze the biscuits in a sealed bag for up to 1 month. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or microwave until warm. For best texture, reheat in an oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt’s thick texture is key to this recipe, so regular yogurt may make the dough too wet. If using regular yogurt, try straining it to remove excess liquid before mixing.

What if I don’t have a biscuit cutter?

You can use a drinking glass or a round cookie cutter to cut the biscuits. Just make sure to flour the edges well to prevent sticking.
