I love making Greek Yogurt Biscuits on slow mornings. This recipe is quick, soft, and full of flavor. If you want a similar twist, try my Greek yogurt bagels post for another yogurt bake.
Your Ingredients List
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- Honey, for drizzling
- Butter, for slathering
My Go-To Equipment
I keep a few tools ready. A large bowl, a pastry cutter or two forks, a baking sheet, a rolling pin or hands, and a biscuit cutter or a glass. I use an oven thermometer to check my oven heat.
The Simple Steps to Follow
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mix looks like coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt until just combined.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times.
- Roll or pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness and cut into rounds.
- Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden.
- Slather with butter and drizzle with honey before serving.
Healthy Twists on a Classic
I often swap half the flour for whole wheat for more fiber. You can use low-fat Greek yogurt to cut calories. For herbs, add chopped chives or rosemary to the dough. For more healthy yogurt ideas, see my healthy Greek yogurt bagels post.
Serving Suggestions From My Table
I like them warm with a big smear of butter and a light drizzle of honey. They pair well with jam, eggs, or a fruit salad. For a sweet finish, serve with a small bowl of Greek yogurt chocolate mousse.
Getting It Just Right
Keep the butter cold to make flaky layers. Mix just until the dough holds; do not overwork it. Cut biscuits about 1 inch thick so they rise well. Watch the oven near the end so they turn golden but do not burn.
How to Store Leftovers
Cool biscuits fully, then store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days. For longer life, refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a low oven or toaster oven to keep them crisp.
Enjoy Every Moment
These biscuits bake fast and bring warm joy to a table. I hope they make your mornings brighter.
A Few Common Questions
Can I use self-rising flour for Greek Yogurt Biscuits?
Yes, you can use self-rising flour. Skip the baking powder and salt in the recipe and check the dough feel before baking.
Can I make Greek Yogurt Biscuits ahead of time?
You can shape the biscuits and chill them on the tray for a few hours, then bake when ready. You can also bake them and reheat later.
Can I freeze Greek Yogurt Biscuits?
Freeze baked biscuits in a sealed bag for up to 2 months. Thaw and warm in the oven, or freeze unbaked rounds on a tray then transfer to a bag to bake later.
