No milk, no eggs, no problem. These biscuits utilize Greek yogurt for creaminess, and carbonated water or seltzer water for an added light flakiness! The result is a biscuit that melts in your mouth! Yum!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
½ cup cold nonfat Greek yogurt
¼ cup cold seltzer, or more as needed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Cut in butter with a knife until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Place the bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Stir in Greek yogurt until dough is combined. Add 1/4 cup seltzer; mix until dough is smooth. Add more seltzer if dough appears dry.
Place dough on a floured piece of parchment paper and pat into a flat rectangle. Fold the rectangle in thirds. Rotate dough 90 degrees, gather any crumbs, and flatten into a rectangle again. Repeat folding, turning, and flattening twice more.
Flatten dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into twelve 2 1/2-inch rounds. Transfer rounds to a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
