Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Green onions (thinly sliced)
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, Greek yogurt, and melted butter until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits dense.
Fold in the chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop 8 evenly-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and set in the center.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy!
