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

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
-
In a medium bowl, add:
-
1 cup self-rising flour
-
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
-
-
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
-
Lightly flour your hands and scoop out 6–8 portions.
-
Gently form into round biscuit shapes (about 2 inches wide).
-
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.
