Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits

Prep Time: 5 minutes

 Bake Time: 12–15 minutes

 Yield: 6–8 biscuits

 Difficulty: Easy

 Ingredients

1. 1 cup self-rising flour

   • Diabetic-friendly tip: Use whole wheat self-rising flour or make your own with a low-glycemic flour blend (see notes below).

2. ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat or low-fat)

   • This adds protein and replaces buttermilk or cream — no added sugar!

3. 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for brushing, optional)

   • Butter adds richness — use grass-fed or plant-based if preferred.

 Instructions

 Step 1: Preheat and Prep

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

 Step 2: Mix the Dough

1. In a medium bowl, add:

   • 1 cup self-rising flour

   • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

2. Stir with a spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together.

   • Don’t overmix — it should be slightly sticky.

 Step 3: Shape the Biscuits

1. Lightly flour your hands and scoop out 6–8 portions.

2. Gently form into round biscuit shapes (about 2 inches wide).

3. Place on the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

 Step 4: Bake

• Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.

 Step 5: Butter & Serve

• Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for that “billion dollar” buttery finish.

• Serve warm with sugar-free jam, a pat of butter, or alongside your favorite soup or eggs.

 Tips for Diabetic-Friendly Baking

• Choose whole grain or almond-based flours when possible.

• Portion control matters — even with healthy ingredients, moderation is key.
