Biscuits made with Greek yogurt



I love biscuits.  But I don't love the saturated fats they often contain.

I made these biscuits using Greek yogurt...and they taste amazing!

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt (or less)
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda

Mix all dry ingredients together.

1 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup skim milk

Mix in the wet ingredients & stir together with a fork until it's mixed together well.   Empty onto a floured board or counter, and pat dough to 3/4" thick & cut into individual biscuits.




Bake on greased cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.

Yield: 12 biscuits.

These biscuits still contain about 5 grams of fat each, but because it's from a liquid vegetable oil, it's a non-saturated fat and a much healthier option than the saturated fat found in butter or shortening.
