Four-Ingredient Drop Biscuits

Freshly baked biscuits get me every time. Nothing beats the smell of buttery, golden brown biscuits or drop biscuits – especially when they’re still warm from the oven.

Unfortunately–to nobody’s surprise–most biscuits are loaded with fat. Not only will you find butter mixed into every nook-and-cranny of dough (that’s what makes them flaky), but many biscuits are then slathered with extra butter before serving. It seems a bit excessive, doesn’t it?

This super simple, four-ingredient recipe is a great way to indulge in a lighter version of traditional biscuits. Rather than relying on heaps of butter, Greek yogurt keeps these drop biscuits light in both calories and texture. Yogurt is a genius substitute that not only cuts down on the fat; but it also helps replicate the familiar tang of buttermilk biscuits. Make sure to use whole milk Greek yogurt for the best results, as a little bit of fat is needed for flaky biscuits.

To take your drop biscuits completely over the top, you can fold in fresh herbs or cheese for a bit of extra flavor. Green onion and cheddar cheese a personal favorite of mine, but I encourage you to get creative!
