Greek Yogurt + Flaxseed Biscuits
These Greek Yogurt + Flaxseed Biscuits are a healthier alternative to the classic southern biscuit — for those mornings when you’re trying to be good!
Ingredients
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 3½ cups Greek yogurt, plain, nonfat
Optional
- chopped fresh herbs, to mix in
- melted butter, to brush on the tops
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper + ground flax together in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center and add the greek yogurt. Using a fork, gently mix the yogurt into the flour until you get a craggy texture.
- Dust a work surface lightly with flour and turn out the dough. Knead just until it becomes smooth, being careful not to overwork the dough. Dust a rolling pin with flour and roll it into a disc about 1" thick. Cut out biscuits with a 2-1/2" biscuit cutter and transfer to the baking sheet, leaving space between so they can breathe. Gently combine scraps, re-roll and cut more biscuits.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until they are golden brown. Allow them to rest of 5 minutes before tearing in.
Notes
Keep in mind, these will have a more dense texture than traditional biscuits, but fewer calories and fat. They are best while still warm. The recipe can easily be cut in half to make just 8 biscuits.
