I love making my own yogurt, and sometimes I’m looking for unique ways to use it. These whole wheat yogurt biscuits are easy to make and they have a delicious flavor. My children would happily eat a plate of these for dinner, and I sometimes find myself using them as a reward to get the kids to eat a less desirable item on the menu.

These biscuits freeze well, so I like to put some of them in the freezer for a time when I need that extra something to complete a meal. This recipe is adapted from a biscuit recipe in Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour

  • 3 tbs. solid butter or ghee
  • 1 cup yogurt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a food processor.

  1. These are great; the best biscuit recipe I’ve seen yet. Very simple, easy & quick.

    But you don’t really need a food processor. I just mix with clean hands.

    I also use applesauce instead of butter, & add a tablespoon or two of cider vinegar to make the bisquits even lighter & give them a slightly sourdough flavor. Add the vinegar last & mix quickly before it reacts completely with the baking soda.

    Or, to make the bisquits flakier, press & fold the dough a couple of times before baking.

    I also double the ingredients to make twice as many at a time because they freeze so well.

    Thanks!
