These Healthy Greek Yogurt Biscuits are an easy, wholesome twist on traditional biscuits made with just two main ingredients: plain Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. They are quick to prepare, tender, and perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack. Optional olive oil spray or melted butter adds a delicious golden finish and a touch of extra flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (such as Fage)
  • 2 cups self-rising flour (unbleached)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (optional, for sprinkling)
  • Olive oil cooking spray or melted butter (for brushing or spraying before baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Stir well until a chunky dough forms, ensuring the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Knead it gently by hand for about 60 seconds until you achieve a smooth, round ball of dough.
  4. Shape Dough: Press the dough into a rectangle about ¾ inch thick. Fold the top half towards the center, then fold the bottom half up to meet it so the edges touch but don’t overlap. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat this folding process twice more. Finally, press the dough again into a ¾ inch thick rectangle.
  5. Cut Biscuits: Flour your biscuit cutter (approximately 2 ¾ inches in diameter). Press it straight down into the dough without twisting to prevent deflating. Place the cut biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheet, touching each other to encourage upward rise during baking.
  6. Add Finishing Touches: Lightly spray the biscuits with olive oil cooking spray or brush with melted butter. If using, sprinkle the tops with kosher salt for extra flavor.
  7. Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuits on the middle or top oven rack until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 17 to 23 minutes. Use the middle rack for hotter ovens and the top rack for less hot ovens to achieve optimal browning.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not twist the biscuit cutter when cutting, as this can deflate the dough and hinder rising.
  • Placing biscuits close together helps them rise taller during baking.
  • Use a well-floured surface and cutter to prevent sticking.
  • Optional kosher salt adds a nice flavor contrast; adjust to taste.
  • Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving to enhance texture and flavor.
