Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C (180g) All Purpose Flour
- 2 Tbsp (24g) Granulated Sugar Substitute*
- 1/2 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt (or 1/4 tsp table salt)
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 C (170g) Fat Free Greek Yogurt
- 2 Tbsp (28g) Light Butter**
- 1 Egg Yolk, for brushing***
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set it aside to get ready for baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, and kosher salt until well blended.
- Cut in the Butter: Using a fork, cut the light butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Greek Yogurt and Form Dough: Add the fat-free Greek yogurt to the mixture and stir until the dough just begins to form. Be careful not to overmix; some flour should remain visible.
- Knead Dough on a Flat Surface: Transfer the dough and any remaining flour onto a clean, flat surface. Use your hands to gently work everything together until no crumbs remain, forming a cohesive dough.
- Shape and Cut Dough: Press the dough into a rectangular shape about 1 inch thick, then cut it into 6 evenly sized pieces for individual biscuits.
- Brush with Egg Yolk: Brush the tops of the biscuit pieces with the egg yolk to help achieve a golden, glossy finish during baking.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they have risen and the tops are golden brown.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can brush the biscuits with milk, cream, or melted butter as an alternative to egg yolk for a different finish.
- Use a sugar substitute suitable for baking if you want to keep the biscuits lower in sugar.
- Light butter can be replaced with regular butter if not concerned about fat content.
- These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven or microwave for a warm, fresh-baked experience.
