Low Fat Yogurt Biscuits Recipes

GREEK YOGURT BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl before cutting the butter in with a fork.
• Add the Greek yogurt and mix until a dough begins to form. Don't over mix. There should be some remaining flour in the bowl.
• Empty the dough and remaining dry ingredients onto a flat surface. Use your hands to work everything together until no crumbs remain.
• Press the dough into a rectangle before cutting the dough into 6 pieces.
• Brush the 6 pieces with an egg yolk (or other options from the notes) and add to the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits have risen and their tops are golden brown.
