These Greek Yogurt Biscuits are light, fluffy, and buttery with a subtle tang from Greek yogurt, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or served with dinner.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 biscuits

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

¾ cup cold plain Greek yogurt

1 large egg, beaten

3 tablespoons cold water

1 large egg, beaten (for brushing on biscuits)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter pieces to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces of butter.
  4. Stir in the cold Greek yogurt and the beaten egg. Add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times until it comes together.
  6. Roll the dough out to about 1-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the dough scraps to cut out any remaining biscuits.
  7. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.
  8. Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have risen nicely.
  9. Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For cheddar biscuits, add ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the dough.

For a savory option, add a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.

To make garlic biscuits, add minced garlic or garlic powder to the dough and brush with garlic butter after baking.

For a healthier version, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.

If you have leftovers, store biscuits in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Freeze the dough by cutting the biscuits and placing them on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to an airtight container. Bake from frozen with a few extra minutes added.
