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.
Whole Wheat Yogurt Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tbs. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 3 tbs. solid butter or ghee
- 1 cup yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a food processor.
- Add the ghee and pulse until combined. It should have a crumb-like texture.
- Remove the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the yogurt. The dough should be moist, but not too sticky.
- Flour a work surface and roll the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch to 1 inch. Cut the dough into 2-3 inch circles, and place the discs on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately or let the biscuits cool on a rack and freeze them for later use. (Yield is about 16 biscuits.)

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!
Can u substitute the gluten free flour mixture in this recipe ?
Judy, that should work fine. If the dough seems too sticky, just add a couple extra tablespoons of flour.
You’re welcome, Tina! I hope this is a helpful resource for you.
