Greek Yogurt Biscuits Recipe

Flour: The base of the biscuits, providing structure and texture.

Baking powder: A leavening agent that helps the biscuits rise and become fluffy.

Salt: Enhances the flavor of the biscuits.

Greek yogurt: Adds moisture and a slight tanginess to the biscuits.

Butter: Adds richness and helps create a tender crumb.

When mixing the flour, baking powder, and salt with the greek yogurt and melted butter, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits. Mix until the ingredients are just combined to ensure a tender and flaky texture.

• all-purpose flour - Substitute with whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour adds more fiber and nutrients, though it may make the biscuits denser.

• all-purpose flour - Substitute with gluten-free flour blend: For those with gluten intolerance, a gluten-free blend can be used to achieve a similar texture.

• baking powder - Substitute with baking soda and cream of tartar: Use ¼ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon cream of tartar for each teaspoon of baking powder to achieve the same leavening effect.

• salt - Substitute with sea salt: Sea salt can be used in the same quantity and may add a slightly different flavor profile.

• greek yogurt - Substitute with sour cream: Sour cream has a similar consistency and tanginess, making it a good alternative.

• greek yogurt - Substitute with buttermilk: Buttermilk can add a similar tang and moisture, though the dough may be slightly wetter.

• butter - Substitute with coconut oil: Coconut oil can be used in the same quantity and will add a subtle coconut flavor.

• butter - Substitute with margarine: Margarine can be used as a direct substitute, though it may alter the flavor slightly.

• Allow the biscuits to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation from forming inside the storage container, which can make the biscuits soggy.

• Place the cooled biscuits in an airtight container. You can use a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid or a resealable plastic bag. If you’re stacking the biscuits, place a piece of parchment paper between each layer to prevent them from sticking together.

• Store the container at room temperature if you plan to eat the biscuits within 1-2 days. For longer storage, place the container in the refrigerator, where the biscuits will keep for up to a week.

• For freezing, wrap each biscuit individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to maintain their freshness and prevents freezer burn.

• Place the wrapped biscuits in a resealable freezer bag or an airtight container. Label the bag or container with the date so you can keep track of how long they’ve been stored.

• Store the biscuits in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, thaw the biscuits at room temperature or reheat them directly from the freezer.

• To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they are warmed through. You can also reheat them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, but be aware that this may make them slightly softer.

• For an extra touch of freshness, brush the reheated biscuits with a little melted butter before serving. This will give them a delightful, just-baked flavor.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Heat for about 10-15 minutes until they are warmed through. This method helps maintain their fluffy texture.

• For a quicker option, use a microwave. Place the biscuits on a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave on medium power for 20-30 seconds. Be cautious not to overheat, as this can make them tough.

• If you have an air fryer, preheat it to 320°F (160°C). Place the biscuits in the basket and heat for 3-5 minutes. This method can help restore some of their original crispiness.

• For a stovetop method, use a non-stick skillet. Heat the skillet over medium-low heat and place the biscuits in the pan. Cover with a lid and heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until warmed through. This method can give the biscuits a slightly toasted exterior.

• Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C) to bake the biscuits.

• Mixing bowl: Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

• Measuring cups: Measure out the flour, baking powder, and Greek yogurt.

• Measuring spoons: Measure the salt and baking powder accurately.

• Wooden spoon: Mix the dry ingredients with the Greek yogurt and melted butter.

• Baking sheet: Place spoonfuls of dough onto this for baking.

• Parchment paper: Line the baking sheet to prevent sticking.

• Spoon: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the baking sheet.

• Pastry brush: Optionally, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking for extra flavor and color.

Pre-measure ingredients: Measure out flour, baking powder, and salt ahead of time to streamline the mixing process.

Use a food processor: Quickly combine dry ingredients and wet ingredients using a food processor for a faster, more consistent dough.

Melt butter in microwave: Save time by melting the butter in the microwave instead of on the stove.

Preheat oven early: Start preheating your oven before you begin mixing to ensure it's ready when you are.

Use a cookie scoop: For evenly sized biscuits, use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto the baking sheet.
