Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 3/4 to 1 inch thickness.

- Bake at 425°F until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter biscuit, consider using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you don't have diet margarine, unsalted butter can be a substitute, though it may alter the texture slightly. Adding herbs like rosemary or chives can elevate the flavor. For a sweeter touch, try incorporating a little sugar along with the optional honey.
Serving Suggestions
These yogurt biscuits are perfect for breakfast or brunch and pair beautifully with a dollop of jam or honey. Serve them alongside a bowl of Warm Broccoli Cheese Dip for a savory snack. They also make a great addition to any meal, complementing dishes like Judy Caine'S Cheesy New Potatoes or a hearty stew.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt?
Yes, Greek yogurt can be used in this recipe. It may yield a slightly denser biscuit, but it will also add a rich flavor and extra protein. Just ensure it's plain and not flavored for best results.
What can I do if the dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour on your work surface and on your hands while rolling out. Alternatively, refrigerate the dough for about 15-20 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Can I add cheese to the biscuit mixture?
Absolutely! Adding shredded cheese like cheddar or mozzarella can enhance the flavor significantly. Just fold in about 1/2 to 1 cup of cheese into the dough after mixing the other ingredients for cheesy yogurt biscuits.
