Yogurt Biscuits are a delightful treat that combine simplicity with deliciousness, making them a fantastic addition to any meal. With just a few ingredients, you can whip up the tender biscuits in no time, perfect for breakfast or as a side. Let’s get into the details of how to create the scrumptious delights.
When it comes to making Yogurt Biscuits, feel free to experiment with the flour. If you want a healthier twist, whole wheat flour can work beautifully, though it might give a denser texture. For those with dietary restrictions, dairy-free yogurt can be a great alternative, but watch that it has a similar consistency to regular yogurt. Always make sure your ingredients are fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Yogurt Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 5 tablespoons shortening
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup yogurt (Add just enough water to make the yogurt able to pour)
- 1 teaspoon melted shortening, to brush tops before cooking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Grease an 8 x 8 pan to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Cut in the shortening using an electric mixer on low for about a minute, until the mixture is crumbly.
- Gently stir in the yogurt mixture until a sticky dough forms; be careful not to overwork it or the biscuits might turn tough.
- Place the dough onto a floured surface. Dust the top with flour and gently pat the dough with your hands until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut the dough into 8-10 rounds.
- Arrange the rounds in the greased pan, ensuring they are touching for soft sides.
- Brush the tops with the melted shortening for that golden finish.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned.
- Once done, turn the biscuits out of the pan after 5 minutes and cover them with a tea towel to keep warm before serving.
