How To Make 2-Ingredient Yogurt Drop Biscuits

Dinner is always infinitely more exciting when there are biscuits. Flaky, buttermilk, or drop, I don’t really care — just bring home the biscuits! Taking the time to work with cold butter and roll and cut out the dough isn’t something I always have time for, especially on a weeknight, but this is the easiest from-scratch biscuit recipe you’ll ever make. It calls for just two simple ingredients, no rolling or cutting, and just a few minutes of your time. And with that, biscuit nirvana is yours any night of the week.

When I say this is the easiest from-scratch biscuit recipe you’ll ever make, I don’t make those claims lightly. All you need is self-rising flour and full-fat plain Greek yogurt. Because yogurt is the main ingredient in these biscuits, they are tangy, with a flavor similar to sourdough bread. They’re not going to be buttery like standard biscuits, but they are super-tender and packed full of protein; no one will protest having a basket of these beauties on the dinner table. Beyond all that, the ingredient list is so simple to remember: You mix together the flour and Greek yogurt in equal proportions. The formula below will make about nine biscuits, so scale this recipe up or down as needed.

This recipe is also easily customizable. Think of these biscuits as an opportunity to use up what’s in the fridge, adding herbs, shredded cheese, chopped ham, crumbled bacon, snipped sun-dried tomatoes, or even chopped olives to the dough before baking.

And instead of dirtying the counter to knead and cut out the biscuits, just plop the dough directly on the baking sheet (thus the name “drop biscuits”), and then pop the whole tray into the oven.
