Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly spraying it with baking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and the low-fat milk. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the yogurt-milk mixture into the well.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix the wet and dry ingredients just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix as it can toughen the biscuits.
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently pat it into a row using your hands, aiming for a thickness of about ¾-inch.
Using a lightly floured biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out as many biscuits as you can. Gently reshape the remaining dough and cut out additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart for crispier sides or closer together for softer sides.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
