Ingredients

Yogurt Drop Biscuits

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup yogurt plain or vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional: 1 Tablespoon sugar

For Shortcakes

  • 2 cups vanilla yogurt
  • 2 cups chopped fruit

Instructions

Yogurt Drop Biscuits

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  • Stir in the ¾ cup yogurt and 2 Tablespoons melted butter. 
  • The dough should be shaggy and moist. Different yogurts have different moisture content, so an extra tablespoon or two of flour or yogurt may be needed at this point.
  • Scoop about 3 Tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Assembly

  • Cut biscuits in half across the equator.
  • Fill with vanilla yogurt and sliced fruit. 

Notes

If you happen to have Bisquick or something similar on hand, you can make the biscuits using 1½ cups of the baking mix with ¾ cup of yogurt.
