YOGURT CHEDDAR BACON BISCUITS

Flaky Biscuits are a classic Southern breakfast food. These easy biscuits come out wonderfully fluffy and put a fun twist on a traditional biscuits and gravy breakfast. You can also serve them as a savory side along with a sweet breakfast like Yogurt Waffles or Whole Wheat Pancakesor just eat them as an on-the-go breakfast with a bit of butter by themselves.

You can also bring them to a completely different part of the day. Serve fluffy biscuits along with a warm bowl of Beef and Cabbage Roll Soup. They make an amazing, flavorful, low-fat bread for dipping in your favorite soup.

2-Ingredient Dough!

This recipe comes out so flaky and wonderful every time, you just won’t believe how easy it is! Unlike most bread recipes healthy biscuits don’t need any baking soda, baking powder, kneading, or rising time. In fact, the total time to make fluffy and crumbly biscuits is just 23 minutes!

For this dough recipe all you need is self-rising flour and Greek Yogurt. The directions for the recipe are just as simple as the ingredient list. Mix together the plain yogurt, flour, cheese, and bacon. Mix until you don’t see the flour, but don’t overwork the dough. Once the dough is well combined, drop ¼ cup of biscuit dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. For perfectly shaped biscuits, use a biscuit cutter. Bake for 18 minutes, then enjoy warm biscuits with a bit of butter.

Self-Rising Flour

Self-Rising all-purpose flour is easy to find at most grocery stores. It is much harder to find store bought whole wheat flour, or a gluten-free flour. Here is an easy step-by-step guide to make self-rising flour. Use it for almond flour, oat flour, wheat flour, or any other flour of your choice. Just remember, the heavier the flour is the harder it will be to rise.

Mix 1 cup of your choice in flour with 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. You may need to use slightly more rising agents, if you’re using a heavier flour like whole wheat.
