Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can also use a large cast iron skillet for baking these simple biscuits.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of self-rising flour and 2 cups of Greek yogurt until a soft dough forms. Pro Tip. If you add any of the optional ingredients such as granulated sugar or shredded cheddar cheese, add it to the dough mixture right away.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times just until the dough comes together. Pro Tip. Don’t overmix so the dough stays soft and flaky.

Step 4

Use a rolling pin and roll or pat the dough out to a ½-inch thickness. Cut the dough into biscuits. A biscuit cutter works nicely for this. However, if you do not have one, a drinking glass or coffee cup will work to cut out the biscuit dough. Pro Tips. You can also cut into 2-inch squares if desired. Make drop biscuits. Rather than rolling out the dough, just use a large cookie scoop to scoop out the dough.

Step 5

Place biscuits on a prepared cookie sheet with parchment paper or an ungreased cast iron skillet.

Step 6

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the biscuits are fluffy and golden brown.

Step 7

For extra flavor, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
