Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 large eggs
Add-ins
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined, ensuring an even distribution of leavening agents.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the plain Greek yogurt and eggs until you achieve a smooth mixture, which will help create a tender biscuit texture.
- Create the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula just until the mixture forms a thick, sticky dough with a few streaks of flour remaining—avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light.
- Add cheese and chives: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives carefully to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the dough.
- Shape the biscuits: Use a medium cookie or ice-cream scooper to portion the dough into 8 mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow expansion.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes until the biscuits turn golden brown and are set in the center.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving, enabling them to firm up slightly for perfect texture.
Notes
- Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid metallic taste.
- Folding in the cheese and chives gently prevents overworking the dough, keeping biscuits tender.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
- These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
