4 Ingredient Biscuits~fast, tasty and easy
In the Relish Magazine that comes in our newspaper, they published a three ingredient Yogurt Biscuit recipe that inspired me to do an adaption. I am in love with creating food with minimal ingredients. The less ingredients, the more likely I am to make something from scratch, the more money saved, the healthier our food is…you get the picture. The original recipe calls for self-rising flour, but I use whole wheat flour here with baking powder. **Updated 3/14.
Biscuits can be so flexible. In the first four days I had the recipe, I made them three times, each time with a different purpose. The first time I made them just to try them as a side with soup. The second time I added cheese, garlic and Italian seasonings to make a flavorful side item on our menu. And the third time I made them to be the base for Strawberry Shortcake. So flexible. Yummy each time!!
The Verdict: As I said before, this recipe is so flexible. I love being able to make food with minimal ingredients. The biscuits are so moist and tasty. I’ve made them SEVERAL times! Love them!
4 Ingredient Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour try 1/2 whole wheat 1/2 white flour if you are transitioning to whole wheat baking. I grounded my wheat berries to have fresh flour. Using all white flour will make them fluffier.
- 1 t salt
- 1 t baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups plain yogurt or plain Greek yogurt
- optional 1 T TriMix (1 t Wheat Germ, 1 t Wheat Bran, 1 t Oat Bran)
- optional 1 t ground flax seed
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
-
Grease baking sheet.
-
Combine wheat flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
-
Make a well with your dry goods.
-
Add the yogurt to the middle of the well and pull the dry ingredients into the yogurt with a fork until everything is moist.
-
Turn dough on a floured surface until it's no longer sticky. The dough will be nice, cool and soft.
-
Form dough into a mass with a 3/4 inch thickness.
-
Take a glass or cookie cutter to cut out biscuit circles.
-
Place the biscuits on the baking sheet close together.
-
Bake for 10-14 minutes or until biscuits turn golden brown. Stick a toothpick in the biscuits to make sure they are no longer doughy (unless you like doughy).
-
Optional, top with butter directly out of the oven.
-
Eat immediately with your favorite soup, dish, or top with strawberries and real whipped cream to enjoy some strawberry shortcake.
-
Store in an airtight container if they don't get gobbled up.

Yum! 🙂
I love biscuits and I love simplicity, so I’m definitely going to try them!
Hi Tiffany. I hope you enjoy these biscuits, then. Thanks for visiting!
I gather you used regular yogurt? Greek yogurt would not work as a substitute for regular yogurt, as it has had around 70% of it’s moisture (whey) removed. I’m going to try this – healthy and quick. Thanks!
Hi Charlotte. I do use regular yogurt. You can use Greek yogurt but may need to add a little additional milk to make the batter more moist. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you enjoy!
I made these a couple of nights ago and they were a success! I did not have any plain yogurt on hand so I put in sour cream. I also added baking powder and garlic. As always, thanks for sharing!
Also love recipes with minimal ingredients – makes life so easy! Thanks for linking up at Breakfast Ideas Mondays!
Yes, we love minimal ingredients! It makes it seem even easier to get into the kitchen, and that’s what we want!
Love how it’s only 3 ingredients!! They look delicious! We are so happy to have you link up to our “Strut Your Stuff Saturday.” We hope you’ll be back!! -The Sisters
I’ll be back. Thanks!
I tried commenting yesterday on my phone and it wouldn’t let me. Anyways my comment said that self rising flour usually already contains baking powder and salt. So maybe adding a bit of baking powder would make them extra fluffy? Just a thought!
I definitely want to try these soon with either goat milk yogurt and goat cheese and herbs mixed in OR with coconut yogurt and some chocolate chips mixed in!! Both sound so yummy!
I am going to try adding the baking powder and see if I can get them really fluffy. Thanks for the idea! I want to hear about your biscuits!!
