Ingredients
2 1/4 cups self-rising flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt, divided
Butter, softened or melted, for finishing
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the self-rising flour with the salt. Mix well to distribute the salt evenly.
Pour 3/4 cup of the plain yogurt into the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a shaggy dough begins to form. The mixture should be slightly sticky but hold together.
Dust your work surface with the remaining 1/4 cup of self-rising flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead 3 to 4 times, just until the dough comes together smoothly. Do not overwork.
Using a light hand, pat the dough into a roughly 3/4-inch-thick rectangle. Use a sharp biscuit cutter or a glass dipped in flour to cut out 12 biscuits, or simply cut the dough into 12 rough squares.
Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt, then brush with a thin layer of softened or melted butter.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and brush the warm biscuits with additional butter if desired. Serve warm.
Comments
This is a smart four-ingredient biscuit that hits every practical mark for a Charlotte weeknight. All ingredients are basic staples at any of the major chains—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart, and ALDI all stock self-rising flour, yogurt, and butter—so no second stops. The stated thirty minutes is honest; mixing and baking takes about that, and the cost per serving lands around fifty cents, driven entirely by butter and yogurt quality, which you control. The biscuits reheat well the next morning and the recipe scales easily for smaller batches, making it genuinely useful for families who want a warm side without fuss. The only reason this isn't a five is that the name suggests these are something special, but they're really just a solid, no-fail biscuit—perfectly good, but not a revelation.
