Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for dusting

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (2% fat recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set this aside for later use.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Start mixing with a spatula until the mixture comes together, then use your hands to knead the dough until it forms a ball. Knead about 20 times. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky but not sticky; add more flour if it’s too wet.
  3. Shape Biscuits: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and flatten into a round disc about 1 inch thick. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut out biscuits. Repeat until all the dough is used. Alternatively, divide the dough into 10 even pieces and shape each by hand into rounds.
  4. Arrange and Bake: Place the biscuits spaced a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes or until the tops turn a beautiful golden brown.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the biscuits from the oven and enjoy warm, optionally with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt with at least 2% fat for best texture; non-fat yogurt may yield drier biscuits.
  • If dough is too sticky, add flour gradually to avoid tough biscuits.
  • Biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven to restore warmth and softness before serving.
  • You can substitute self-rising flour by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt (1 tbsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt per 2 cups flour).
